A 44-year-old man was booked by the Dombivli police for allegedly spreading false information about people contracting the virus in his neighbourhood. However, investigation into the matter revealed that he gave misinformation to the police and was on bad terms with his neighbours, according to a report in Mumbai Mirror.

An official from Vishnu Nagar police station in Dombivli said that they had received a phone call on Saturday afternoon from a man named Sandeep Shinde who told the police that a few children were playing cricket in Sai Dutt Chawl amid lockdown.
