When two Covid-19 tests of an Andheri woman came back positive and negative on the same day, corporator from Wadala East, Sufiyan Vanu, had alleged a Covid-19 scam and sought an enquiry into the incident. A probe by a BMC officer has now determined that there was no scam and has recommended legal action against the corporator for not allowing a Covid-19 positive woman from getting treatment at a Covid-19 centre or quarantining.

Shabista Aklekar, who was going to Bahrain with her baby girl on May 8, had done an RT-PCR test but it had expired by the time of her departure. She was tested again at the airport through the RT-PCR method and the report came positive. The woman was asked to quarantine at a hotel but Vanu got her tested again and the result came negative.
