Plea in Bombay HC Seeks Z+ Security for Adar Poonawalla Amid Reports of Threats
News 18Amid reports of threats against Adar Poonawalla, a criminal petition was filed before the Bombay High Court on Wednesday seeking Z-plus category security for the Serum Institute of India CEO and his family members. The plea was filed by Mumbai lawyer Datta Mane seeking a higher level of security for Poonawalla, who has alleged that he has been receiving threats over supply of Covid-19 vaccine Covishield. Poonawalla was getting aggressive calls from powerful people including chief ministers, business tycoons demanding instant supplies of Covishield which is among the two vaccines being used in the mass inoculation drive in India.” The plea also quoted Poonawalla’s statement from an interview given to ‘The Times’: “Threats is an understatement. They can’t understand why anyone should get it before them.” Appealing for the protection of the businessman, the plea stated, “If Adar Poonawalla is out of India, due to fear to his life, then it will be ship in storm without its captain.” Mane sought a thorough independent investigation into the threat calls to the SII chief and said the call detail records need to be retrieved to find the offenders.
