Senior advocate Anil Sakhre, appearing for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, said, “We have come to know that the vaccination certificates were not given to the people on the day they were given fake vaccines. Later these certificates were issued in the name of three different hospitals. Only then did people realize that something was wrong. These hospitals said that they had not provided the vials that were used in those camps. We have also written a letter to Serum Institute of India in this regard.” The court asked the BMC and the state government to file their affidavits with answers to the court’s questions and directions on June 29, the next date of hearing in the matter. .
