Police have arrested an alleged accomplice of Debanjan Deb, the prime accused in the fake vaccine camp case, for organising an alleged fake drive for the teachers and staff of a north Calcutta college last month.

Indrajit Shaw, 46, a Tangra resident, was arrested in front of Central Metro station on Friday evening, the police said.

Shaw, a former student of the same north Calcutta college, had introduced Deb to the college authorities and organised a camp where 72 persons including teachers, non-teaching staff and some students were “vaccinated” on June 18, sources said.

The college authorities lodged a complaint with Amherst Street police station after Deb’s alleged fraud was unearthed.

Deb and his accomplices had claimed that the camp was being organised on behalf of the Calcutta Municipal Corporation and hence was free.

Shaw was also the “head clerk” at Deb’s Kasba office, the police said.

“Indrajit Shaw was extremely close to Deb and was part of his projects,” said an employees who worked at the Kasba office.

Shaw, booked for cheating, forgery, fraud, criminal conspiracy, was produced before a city court on Saturday and remanded in police custody.
