Hiranandani Heritage Residents Welfare Association, a Society in Mumbai has lodged complaints as they were scammed by a fake vaccination drive. The Vaccination drive members said that they represent a private hospital, and the vaccine that was administered could be spurious.

A vaccination camp was arranged by the residential complex on May 30. But later it found that the Co-WIN portal did not have any record of the people who participated and they received certificates in the name of different hospitals, it said.

The complaint on its motive said "If the vaccine is found to be spurious, the people who got vaccinated will have a medical emergency to deal with. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate the whole episode so that such fraudulent activities are not repeated at other places."

 A person named Pandey claimed to be a sales representative of a reputed private hospital in Andheri. As many as 390 members received the jabs at the camp at ₹ 1,260 per person, it said in the complaint and the vaccination certificate that they received in the name of Nanavati Hospital, Lifeline Hospital, and NESCO Covid Camp, among others. 

Where on the other hand, Nanavati Hospital claimed that no such camp is conducted. 

Alshi, a resident of the complex tweeted, "There are doubts about whether we were actually given Covishield or was it just glucose or expired/waste vaccine."
