The municipal commissioner of Navi Mumbai has suspended Dr Sachin Nemane, who was in charge of antigen testing at the municipal corporation’s testing centre, after receiving complaints of fake COVID-19 reports from the centre being published on the website of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
As per a report in Mumbai Mirror, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has also formed a team to investigate the allegations, and whether this is part of a larger scam in COVID-19 testing centres. Social activists have alleged that the names of people are listed as having tested negative — despite not having undergone tests — on the ICMR website , and that at least 10,000 such fake reports from Navi Mumbai have been published on the site.
