Thousands of people have fallen prey to a sophisticated fraud scheme in India, where they have received doses of salt water instead of coronavirus vaccines.
Police have arrested 14 people, doctors and health workers, who had set up 12 fake vaccination centers, near Mumbai. “They used salt water injections at every vaccination center,” said Vishal Thakur, a senior Mumbai police chief.
From the whole scheme, implemented in May and June, over 2500 people have been affected, while the organizers have managed to secure about 28 thousand dollars from it.
So far in India 62 million people have been fully vaccinated, making up 4.5% of the population
