Tablighi jamaat

Health officials in Ahmednagar were involved in contact tracing after 2 Markas attendees in the town were tested positive for the COVID-19

It has been reported that Maulana Saad, head of Nizamuddin Markaz and other Muslims living inside the Nizamuddin Dargah did not vacate the virus-infected locality on Delhi police's request, resulting in Home Minister Amit Shah deploying NSA Ajit Doval.

Many of the foreign nationals who had attended the event were found 'hiding' in mosques at various parts of the country.

An FIR had been lodged against Tablighi Jamaat management for organising the congregation and housing thousands pf people at a time when orders against mass-gatherings were already in place due to the coronavirus threat.

Over 130 people from Pune had attended the Tablighi Jamaat event in New Delhi's Nizamuddin which has emerged as the latest hotspot for the contagion in India.
