Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde has given clarification on the controversy arising on social media regarding her watch. He has claimed that this entire matter is based on false and misleading information.

The issue of issuance of fake birth certificates was discussed in the meeting, in which police officers and other departments were involved.
