Fraudsters duped over Rs 1 Crore from Serum Institute
By MYBRANDBOOK
Fraudsters duped vaccine-maker Serum Institute of India (SII) of more than Rs 1 crore by sending messages in the name of CEO Adar Poonawalla and asking for transfer of money. An FIR for cheating and offences under the Information Technology (IT) Act has been registered against unidentified persons.
The sender asked one of the directors of the institute named Satish Deshpande, to transfer money to certain bank accounts immediately. Believing that it was the CEO, company officials transferred Rs 1,01,01,554 online, only to realize later that Poonawalla had never sent any such text.
The Pune Police said, “After realising that Adar Poonawala had never asked for such transfers or sent messages to the Finance Manager of SII made a written complaint in Bundgarden police station and later, police registered an FIR under the section of IPC 419, 420,34 and IT Act for probing the case further.”
The SII produces the Covishield vaccine against coronavirus among other vaccines. Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech International Limited (BBIL) completed clinical trials of the nasal vaccine with about 4,000 volunteers and no side effect or adverse reaction has been reported so far.
