BENGALURU:
A doctor at a Public Health Centre in Manjunathnagar was arrested on Thursday for allegedly administering vaccine at her associate’s house.
As per Police, Dr. Pushpitha, a medical officer with Manjunathnagar PHC, and her associate Prema, a homemaker from ITI Layout, were charging Rs 500 for a shot of Covishield. The doctor used to get the vials from the PHC and vaccinate people at Prema’s house.
