Covid-19: Fraudsters loom large in India

For a country that was touted as the land of milk and honey…for a country that was the cynosure of all eyes throughout history, for its wealth and humaneness, it is deeply distressing that India is the subject of the most shockingly despicable acts of depravity since the Covid-19 outbreak.
