The report stated that a migrant labourer kicked the food and mistreated the woman who had prepared it at quarantine centre set up in a school in Madhwapur block of Bihar&#8217;s Madhubani district. However, the report did not talk about the woman hailing from the Dalit community. It said that the staff members had asked migrant labourers to follow social distancing while having their food.

The video is from Bihar and is related to the incident from Madhwapur block. The name of the school &#8211; &#8216;\u0930\u093e\u091c\u0915\u0940\u092f\u0915\u0943\u0924 \u092e\u0927\u094d\u092f \u0935\u093f\u0926\u094d\u092f\u093e\u0932\u092f \u092e\u0927\u0935\u093e\u092a\u0941\u0930&#8217; (State-run middle school Madhwapur) &#8211; seen in the video confirms the same.<\/p>\n<p>Alt News reached out Saharghat police and spoke to SHO Surendra Paswan. He said that there is no Dalit-Muslim angle to the incident. The people who were quarantined were asked to follow social distancing norms. Hence, the food was cooked and kept at a place from where they were supposed self-serve but some of them requested that they are (normally) served the food while they sit to eat. When they were denied the same, they got furious and started hurling abuses. An FIR has been lodged against three people namely, Pankaj Kumar Rai, Manoj Rai and Ashok Shah.<\/p>\n<p>The viral claim, however, names two Muslim men &#8211; Shiraj Ahmed and Bhujouli Kurd &#8211; who threw food cooked by a Dalit woman. This is a separate incident which has been falsely associated with the one that took place in Bihar. But the incident didn&#8217;t involve two Muslim men but one Siraj Ahmad who is a resident of Bhujouli Khurd village in Uttar Pradesh&#8217;s Kushinagar district. Thus, Bhujoli Khurd is not the name of a person as claimed on social media but a village. In several parts of India, an area of a village is broadly divided into two halves. The bigger one is called &#8216;Kalan&#8217; whereas the smaller one is called &#8216;Khurd&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A 35-year-old has been booked by the police for refusing to eat food at a quarantine centre on the ground that it was cooked by a Dalit.&#8221; reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outlookindia.com\/newsscroll\/man-booked-for-refusing-to-eat-food-cooked-by-dalit\/1801580\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Outlook<\/a> on April 14, 2020. &#8220;The village head Lilawati Devi, who hails from the Dalit community, had prepared food at the quarantine centre in the absence of the [designated] cook but Siraj refused to eat it. A case has been registered against Siraj under the SC\/ST Act and he has been arrested by the police,&#8221; the report adds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-67713\" src=\"http:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/05\/2020-05-27-12_40_20-Man-booked-for-refusing-to-eat-food-cooked-by-Dalit.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1152\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/05\/2020-05-27-12_40_20-Man-booked-for-refusing-to-eat-food-cooked-by-Dalit.png 1152w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/05\/2020-05-27-12_40_20-Man-booked-for-refusing-to-eat-food-cooked-by-Dalit-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/05\/2020-05-27-12_40_20-Man-booked-for-refusing-to-eat-food-cooked-by-Dalit-1024x459.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/05\/2020-05-27-12_40_20-Man-booked-for-refusing-to-eat-food-cooked-by-Dalit-768x344.png 768w, https:\/\/www.altnews.in\/english-clone-2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/05\/2020-05-27-12_40_20-Man-booked-for-refusing-to-eat-food-cooked-by-Dalit-990x443.png 990w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1152px) 100vw, 1152px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Therefore, several social media users shared the video of an incident from Bihar as that of an incident from Uttar Pradesh.
