MADHEPURA: RJD MLA Chandrashekhar has come out in support of 84-year-old madhepura resident Brahmdeo Mandal, who claims to have received 11 shots of Covid vaccines at different centres on separate dates. The latter is now evading arrest, as an FIR has been lodged against him at the Puraini police station.
The MLA has written a letter to Madhepura SP Rajesh Kumar pleading with him to halt any coercive action against Brahmdeo. He has blamed the government and on-duty officials for the lapses in multiple Covid vaccinations administered to the octogenarian.
“The octogenarian’s Aadhar number should have been verified by the on-duty officials. This incident has raised numerous questions,” Chandrashekhar wrote.
The RJD MLA attributed the issue of multiple vaccinations to the need for further research into how an 84-year-old person could sustain 11 jabs. “The beneficiary has not yet reported any adverse effects or complications,” he added.
Mandal has been booked for using different ID cards to receive 11 vaccine shots, and police are conducting raids to apprehend him. He has not turned on his cellphone since police raided his home in Orai village under the Puraini police station area in the district.
Dr R K Pappu, a physician, also condemned the police action against the 84-year-old. He emphasised the importance of monitoring antibodies developed in such an elderly man following multiple vaccinations. “He should be detained and investigated,” he said.
Mandal had asserted that he was cured of the diseases from which he previously suffered and claimed to be in good health following vaccination.
He, however, remained unavailable for comment on his phone.
