Illegal Covid test centre in Gurugram issues fake report

A resident of Sector-29 in Gurugram, Piyush Bhatnagar, has lodged a police complaint over a fake Covid-19 test report issued by an illegal test center.

 

This Covid test center was operating under the name of a reputed pathology lab near Leisure Valley Park at Sector-29 in Gurugram, the police said on Wednesday.

The victim in his police complaint said his corona test was conducted at this fake Covid-19 center on Monday for which he paid Rs 900 through Paytm. On Tuesday, the center had issued a Covid positive report via e-mail.

When he contacted the toll-free number of the pathology customer care center, it was found that there is no collection center in Gurugram to conduct Covid-19 tests. He was also told that no report of the Covid test has been released in the name of Piyush Bhatnagar,” the victim told the police.
