Nearly one lakh devotees who had visited the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar in April-May this year, have started receiving calls to ascertain if the person using the number had even attended the Kumbh Mela in the first place.
The Uttarakhand Police has set up a special investigation team to probe allegations that fake Covid tests were conducted during the Haridwar Kumbh Mela.
Haridwar has reported 594 new cases of Covid-19 in the last 24 hours as thousands are thronging to Ganga ghats to take dips during the Kumbh Mela.
Haridwar reported over 1,000 COVID-19 cases in just two days as lakhs took a dip in the Ganga on the second shahi snan on April 12. On the other hand Chief Minister TS Rawat stroked a controversy by saying, taking holy bath in river Ganga will not spread coronavirus.
