The Mumbai police on Monday said news circulating on social media of children getting kidnapped from various parts of the metropolis was fake and asked people not to believe in rumours in this connection.

News that children have been kidnapped from areas like HDIL Kohinoor, Kanjurmarg, BMC school Vikhroli and Ghatkopar keeps getting circulated on social media, but these are all fake, said Prashant Kadam, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone VII).
