The Waluj MIDC police busted the racket by raiding a house, where the vaccine was being given to the workers, on payment of Rs 300 each. The police have detained a health assistant (arogya sevak) Ganesh Ramdas Durole, who is posted at Ranjangaon Shenpunji's sub-centre of Jikthan Primary Health Centre, and seized two vials of vaccine from his possession. Meanwhile, the police have also detained his colleague Syed Amjad Syed Ahmed (of Jikthan PHC) for the investigation.It so happened that Ranjangaon Shenpunji's Shiv Sena activist, Nikhil Kolekar, came to know about the ongoing vaccination in one house at Sajapur. He intimated the party superiors and the media persons. Acting upon the information, the police inspector Madhukar Sawant deployed a team comprising PSI Rahul Nirval, head constables Wagh and Naik along with 'panch' to Sajapur. As per schedule, the accused Durole entered the house with a bag to give vaccine today at 11.30 am. While the vaccination was underway, the cops raided and detained him and seized vials of vaccinefrom his possession.During the investigation, Durole informed the police that he used to collect Rs 300 each in advance from the contractor to administer the vaccine. He also informed that he has taken the vials from a health assistant Syed Amjad Syed Ahmed (of Jikthan PHC). Later on, the police also detained Syed Amjad for investigation.BoxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe vaccination was underway in one room of the housed-owned by Sajapur's Syed Iliyas Laddu. Prior to the arrival of Durole, few workers were already waiting in the room for the vaccine. Durole prepared the list and started to give the vaccine accordingly. The police raided the house and detained Durole after he had administered the vaccine illegally to 5-6 workers.
