鄺俊宇當天晚上發表發聲明嚴厲否認呢個指控，他表示當時他三次向警方要求進入封鎖區但都被拒絕，只能夠喺對面街向梁凌傑喊話，警察當時又聲稱鄺俊宇表示 不需要且不容許提供協助。鄺俊宇批評《點新聞》的行為猶如「踩著死者屍體去作新聞」，形容《點新聞》行為卑鄙、可恥、違反做人的基本道德。他亦表示有打算就相關報導採取法律行動  。相關報導後來在《點新聞》網站及臉書專頁已無法被找到  。
Kwong Chun-yu issued a statement that night to vehemently deny the allegation, saying that he had asked the police three times to enter the locked-off area but had been refused, and could only shout to Leung Lingjie on the opposite street, and the police claimed at the time that Kwong Chun-yu said that he did not need and would not allow assistance. Kwong Chun-yu criticized the behavior of "Dian News" as "stepping on the corpse of a deceased to make news", describing "Dian News' behavior as despicable, shameful, and contrary to the basic morality of being a human being". He also indicated that he intended to take legal action against the relevant reports. The report was later no longer available on the Dian News website and Facebook page.
