Kolkata Police have arrested a man who pretended to be an IAS officer and ran fake vaccination drives using the Kolkata Municipal Corporation's (KMC) name. Reportedly, TMC MP Mimi Chakraborty was a guest at one of the vaccination drives. 

Earlier, reports of a vaccination scam had emerged from Mumbai after residents of a housing society in the city’s Kandivali area claimed they were given fake Covid-19 shots by a vaccination racket.
