New Delhi: A doctor among five people from South Delhi have been arrested by the police for allegedly preparing fake Covid-19 reports using forged means.
The arrest was made following an investigation by the police based on a complaint call on Thursday alleging that Genestrings lab in Malviya Nagar was involved in preparing fake Covid reports.
On probing, police found that the doctor with the help of his two aides used to telephonically send the report to the two lab technicians, who used to prepare the reports on their laptop using the letterhead of the said lab provided to them by the doctor. Later, the accused used to deliver test results to people without even registering the samples in the lab.
The scam came to light after one Vipul Saini called the police and informed them that in April this year, he along with his 45 relatives had given their samples for COVID testing to the two lab technicians.
However, on April 25, another person (known to the complainant) gave his sample to the lab and on April 26 he tested positive for COVID, but he did not show any symptoms of COVID which made him suspicious of the report. On April 28 the person again gave his sample to another laboratory where he tested negative.
