An 84-year-old man in Bihar, who came into the limelight after purportedly taking the Covid-19 vaccine 11 times in the last one year, is all set to be arrested.
On the basis of a complaint filed by district medical officer Dr. Vinay Krishna Prasad, an FIR was registered against Brahmadev Mandal, a resident of Madhepura district of Bihar, at Puraini police station.
He was booked under sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), 419 (cheating by personation), and 420 (cheating) of the India Penal Code, all of which are non-bailable sections.
However, citing his old age, Brahmdev Mandal is likely to get bail after being arrested.
The elderly man made news earlier this week when health workers caught him after he was attempting to take Covid vaccine jab for the twelfth time.
After Brahmadev Mandal was caught, preliminary investigation and a confession made by him disclosed that he had taken the shot 11 times using his Aadhar card or voter identity card.
He claimed that after getting vaccinated 11 times, he got rid of some serious diseases that he was suffering from.
Brahmadev Mandal is a retired government employee from the postal department and the manner in which he has taken the Covid-19 vaccine 11 times in the past year has also exposed the negligence of the health department.
Efforts are now being made to arrest him.
