30-year-old 'Niten Gadkari', 33-year-old 'Amit Sha', 26-year-old 'Om Birla', and 37-year-old 'Pushyu Goyal' have been issued covid vaccination certificates by a community healthcare centre in Sarsainawar village, Takha tehsil, in Etawah, UP. A three-member team has been sent to the village for investigation as per the directions of the district administration.
The certificates with these names, interestingly similar to Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari, Amit Shah, Piyush Goyal and Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla, were issued to people who were reportedly vaccinated with the first dose on December 12 at the community healthcare centre. The date for the second dose has been fixed between March 5, 2022, and April 3, 2022 - after a gap of about 12 weeks and 16 weeks, respectively.
"Someone hacked the ID of our official and has done this to malign the vaccination drive of the district. These certificates are generated online and this is a conspiracy," reasoned Bhagwan Das, chief medical officer of Etawah.
