Coronavirus: India refutes reports of 'vastly undercounted' deaths

The central government on Thursday refuted reports that India's COVID-19 death toll was "vastly undercounted." The government noted that such reports are based on the "totally fallacious" assumption that all excess mortality figures are COVID-19 deaths. India on Thursday reported 507 fresh fatalities, pushing the nationwide COVID-19 death toll to 4.19 lakh, the third-highest in the world for any country.
