Cuttack: Congress MLA from Cuttack-Barabati Md. Moquim found himself in an uncomfortable situation after DCP Cuttack tweeted a video clip, stating that an attendee, who is a namesake of the lawmaker, of the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi and his family had tested negative for COVID-19.


In a tweet on Friday, the Odisha MLA urged @DCP_CUTTACK to cross-check the spellings before posting name of COVID-19 suspects to avoid confusion.


He also thanked Mohammed Mukim Younus of Cuttack for cooperating with the administration and for appealing to all those who attended the Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi to come for the COVID-19 test.

Moquim also urged all those who attended the Jammat to stay in home quarantine and follow the government instructions.

This forced the DCP, Cuttack, to clarify in a separate tweet that the person he had referred to was not MLA, Cuttack-Barabati.
