After the mysterious death of a 15-year-old girl from Ghatkopar on Wednesday, a doctor from Delhi spread a message on social media platforms claiming she died after taking the Covid-19 vaccine. Her family, however, claimed that she passed away due to a heart attack. Aarya Rupesh Bhanushali lived with her family at the Himalaya society in Ghatkopar West. On Wednesday morning, she complained of pain in the chest and acidity, her uncle Ashariya Bhanushali told mid-day.
