Ramesh Taurani of Tips Industries Expresses Concerns If He Was Also Tricked in Mumbai Fake Vaccine Scam
Earlier, residents of a housing society in Mumbai suspect they were administered fake COVID-19 vaccines as part of an alleged "vaccination scam". The allegation has been made by residents of the Hiranandani Estate Society in Kandivali. A COVID-19 vaccination camp was organised in the society on May 30.
Bollywood film producer Ramesh Taurani got 365 of his employees vaccinated on May 30 and June 3, however, they are yet to receive a certificate.
Speaking about the same, Ramesh Taurani said, "Yes, we are still waiting for the certificates and when my office people contacted him (Sanjay Gupta from SP Events), he said it will come by this Saturday (June 12), we got 356 people vaccinated and paid Rs 1,200 per dose plus GST. But more than the money, now we are worried about what was given to us. Is it genuine Covishield or any saline water?" he added, "We were told we would get the vaccination certificate from Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital [in Mumbai]."
