Bhubaneswar: Former Associate Professor (Political Science) of Pipli College Afsar Ali has released a video, claiming that he and 14 others from Odisha’s Pipili, who attended the Markaz Tablighi Jamaat at Nizamuddin in Delhi earlier last month, have tested negative for the novel coronavirus.

The video has purportedly been shot at a quarantine centre in Tughlakabad, Delhi, where the 15 are being kept.

Urging people not to believe in rumours, he said that reports of all 15 are corona negative.

He also requested people to fight COVID-19 by following social distancing norms and pray to God for help them through these difficult times.
