Alt News reached out to senior police inspector Sanjeev Narkar at Gorai <a href=\"https:\/\/mumbaipolice.gov.in\/Police_incharge?policestations=32\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">police station<\/a>. He said, &#8220;The incident took place on July 13. The claims about viral videos from Manori village are false. Narkar informed that the argument was sparked after Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) staff visited the locality to admit a person to an institutional quarantine centre.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube channel &#8216;On Record Mira Bhayandar&#8217; published a ground report where they spoke with Arvind Shetty, a resident of Manori. As per Shetty, someone did test positive, however, no COVID-19 related deaths have occurred in the area so far. Thus, refuting social media claims. He also stated that locals don&#8217;t trust institutional quarantine centres at Charkop and Malad because of issues such as poor waste management and delay in the food service.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fact of Gorai Viral Video || Vira|l Sach || fakeVideo || Viral Video || GoraiVideo || ManoriVideo ||\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eAuELUZ_vsI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Local newspaper <a href=\"http:\/\/epaper.hindisaamana.com\/index.php?pagedate=2020-7-20&amp;edcode=71&amp;subcode=71&amp;mod=1&amp;pgnum=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Saamna<\/a> also published a report on the incident on July 20.
