New Delhi, June 26 : Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, has demanded an investigation by central agencies into a fake vaccination drive in Kolkata conducted by a man allegedly posing as an IAS officer.
Adhikari has written a letter to Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan. Decorated with trademark blue and white balloons characteristic of TMC government events, these camps had already been held in Amherst Street, Sonarpur and hundreds of persons have already been inoculated in these camps. While copies of Aadhaar cards were procured from the recipients in Kasba, none of them received any certificate of vaccination. All these happened under the watch of local administration including police and civic authorities, Adhikari wrote.

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], June 26 (ANI): West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari on Friday wrote to Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan demanding a probe by Central agencies into the alleged COVID-19vaccination fraud case in Kolkata.
In the letter, Adhikari alleged that the man behind the illegal vaccination camps posing as an IAS officer, Debanjan Deb, had influence in the ruling party and questioned the impartiality of the Special Investigation Team set up by the Kolkata Police to probe the case. Decorated with trademark blue and white balloons characteristic of TMC (Trinamool Congress) government events, these camps had already been held in Amherst Street, Sonarpur and hundreds of persons have already been inoculated in these camps, he said in the letter.
Claiming that the vaccine fraud cannot occur without the "complicity of top civic authorities”, Suvendu Adhikari asked the Union health minister for an investigation by the central agencies.
