Three men have been booked for allegedly entering a sealed building by impersonating BMC health officials and checking temperatures of residents. Police said the accused, aged between 20 and 25, on Monday entered Vikrant Sadan that has been sealed off after a resident of the building had tested positive for COVID-19.
