A police probe found that the group behind the bogus vaccination racket at Kandivali had ensnared people in other parts of the metropolis through a total of nine camps amid a raging second wave of the infection.
The BMC said the victims of these bogus camps would be given the first or second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on the basis of police investigation as well as its own verification. PTI KK BNM BNM BNM
