With the rise of so many COVID cases in this second wave, there has been a scarcity of medicinal supplies and oxygen cylinders.
Many unofficial leads and informal information is surfacing online over social media platforms. Though there are many genuine people working day and night to help the COVID patients, there are people who are cheating the helpless.
Fraudsters are everywhere, they are manipulating the patient's families in giving either huge amount of money for medicines and oxygen cylinders, or they are cheating citizens in the name of providing emergency beds, Remdesivir injections.
