Vadodara: The police on Sunday arrested eight persons including two women for attempting to spread rumours about Covid vaccine in the city. All the accused, who had gathered at Sayajibaug in the morning, were not wearing face masks and were allegedly planning to initiate an anti-vaccine campaign, said cops.
The accused have formed groups named ‘Awaken Gujarat Movement’ and ‘Awaken Vadodarians’.
