    At the beginning of the second wave of Covid in India when cases were doubling up everyday,  Uttarakhand held the Mahakumbh Mela in Haridwar which witnessed hundreds of devotees. The religious gathering put millions at risk of the infection as the devotees dipped in Ganga in large numbers and then travelled back, exposing others to the virus as well.

    Even after the entire nation condemned the move and pleaded with the government to shelve the kumbh mela this year, it didn’t budge. What happened next was the biggest Covid test scam which painted the religious gathering as completely benign to the global crisis.

    The stats showed that the Covid positivity report at Kumbh was only 2.8% which is incredible (read BS) since it was 14% in other states which were in complete lockdown. We don’t know who was buying this till now, but it is finally being unmasked, thanks to an LIC agent Vipan Mittal from Faridkot.

    When he got a Covid report for the test he never took, he knew something was fishy. Fearing that his personal details have been wrongly used, he went to the authorities and even health department officials, before finally taking his case to the ICMR.   

    He said, “My Covid-19 report said I was negative, but I hadn’t got tested. I went to local district authorities, but I was told to go away. Health department officials were also not interested in finding out what was going on. As a last resort, I filed an email complaint with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).”

    He also filed an RTI plea regarding the testing at Kumbh and now a probe is underway. The investigation reveals that lakhs of fake reports were made with fake personal details of people and Mittal was among them.

    The experts had expressed their doubts about unbelievably low positivity rate despite allegedly large testing held at Kumbh which is now finally unraveling to be a massive scam to brush off the irresponsibility of the authorities.

    The agencies conducting tests during the Kumbh period are on close watch and the Haridwar district administration has been asked to present the action-taken report to hold everyone accountable for this scam.

    All it took was a humble SMS containing the negative results and the eagerness of Mittal to get to the bottom of the truth to expose a scam which probably took hundreds of lives.

    India’s youngest billionaire Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, was heavily criticised when it came to the fore that he had cheated against chess legend Viswanathan Anand while participating in an online chess game, part of a charity event to raise funds for India’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
    After facing flak, Kamath issued a casual apology admitting that he had “people analyzing the game” and also took the help of the “computers” to decide his moves.
    Kamath’s account was later banned for using unfair means to beat the five-time world champion Anand. 
    Deploying various cheating tactics, Kamath managed to attain an accuracy of 99.0 per cent while Anand who played by fair means could only manage 92.9 per cent move accuracy.

    While fans wondered how a novice like Kamath defeated the Indian legend, American Grand Master Hikaru Nakamura, on his YouTube channel, has decoded how the Indian billionaire followed the moves recommended by the computer and got the better of Anand, bypassing chess.com’s security algorithms. 

    Chess.com has lifted the ban from Kamath’s account after Anand expressed no interest in pursuing the matter further.  

    Reacting to the issue, Danny Rensch, chief chess officer of Chess.com, said that Anand doesn’t want to take the matter any further and has elected to reopen all the accounts, which came under deep scrutiny after the charity event.  
     "Regarding the games played in the Vishy Anand simul for charity, as well as with the full cooperation of Vishy Anand, Chess.com has elected to reopen all of the accounts in question during the event," Danny Rensch, chief chess officer, Chess.com said in an official statement.

    "Given the forthcoming cooperation of the players and the clarification that not all the rules were properly understood, neither Chess.com nor Anand himself sees any reason to uphold the matter any further," Danny Rensch added. 
    "General Note Per Chess.com rules found here, unrated games, as such were played in the event--are not always played within the same parameters. Anand, as the simul giver, has expressed no interest in further pursuing the matter," he said.

    "While he wants clearly expressed that he does not endorse the use of non-approved assistance in chess, he agrees fully that the games were played in good faith for the fun and good intentions of the charitable efforts, and wishes the matter be put to rest," he added. 
    Quote-tweeting Chess.com’s official statement about restoring Kamath’s account, Anand tweeted: "It's time to move on and get closure on this".
