Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday asked the state administration to conduct a probe on some Thane ministers who jumped the queue to take the jab, said Shiv Sena leader Anil Parab.

As per Times of India, Thane mayor Naresh Mhaske, legislator Ravindra Fatak, his son and a few corporators have taken the shots despite there is no mandate for them to get vaccinated.

"The chief minister has asked the administration to take action wherever rules were flouted in the vaccination drive, including Thane," Parab said.

However, BJP corporator Manohar Dumbre said that he had informed union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan about the jab.
