Two city couples, who had visited Jammu and Kashmir last month, were shocked to receive Covid antigen test reports, allegedly done at a kiosk in front of a botanical garden in Jammu and Kashmir, which stated they were negative. However, not only did they not get tested while they were entering the garden, the date mentioned in the report is also a recent one, when both the couples were actually in Mumbai.

This brings to the fore doubts on the authenticity of the tests conducted, allegedly under the banner of the Srinagar civic body. This comes at a time when the state recorded its highest number of visitors in November in the past seven years at 1.27 lakh. Both the couples—Kandivli-based Nilesh and Minal Vyas and Malad-based Dwarkesh and Sejal Pandya—told mid-day they had taken both the doses.
