Water and Salt Instead of "Corona" Vaccine: Investigation into Fraud Affecting Thousands

The American newspaper "The New York Times" revealed that police in India are investigating a fraud case affecting thousands of individuals who received doses of water and salt instead of COVID-19 vaccines. The report states that security officials are looking into claims that thousands were injected with fake vaccines in Mumbai, India’s financial capital. Police have arrested 14 individuals on suspicion of involvement in a scheme where saline solution was injected instead of vaccine doses at nearly ten private vaccination sites in Mumbai over the past two months. It is alleged that the scammers, including medical professionals (such as doctors and nurses), sold vaccine doses for prices ranging from $10 to $17 per dose, according to authorities, who reported seizing more than $20,000 from the suspects.
