The vaccination racket that mid-day first reported about at a Kandivli housing society seems to have hit Bollywood production houses, too.
Producer Ramesh Taurani, who heads Tips Industries Ltd, confirmed to India Today Television that 365 of his employees were vaccinated on May 30 and June 3, but are yet to receive a certificate. Taurani told India Today Television, “Yes, we are still waiting for the certificates and when my office people contacted him [Sanjay Gupta from SP Events], he said they would come by June 12. We got 356 people vaccinated and paid R1,200 per dose plus GST. But, more than the money, now we are worried about what was given to us. Was it Covishield or some saline water?” Taurani said, “We were told we would get the vaccination certificate from Kokilaben Dhirubai Ambani Hospital.”
