Dankaur police on Monday arrested 11 persons who had attended the Tablighi Jamaat programme in Delhi in March but hid the information from the local police and administration. The suspects were produced before a magistrate and were later released on bail.
Rajesh Kumar Singh, deputy commissioner of police, Greater Noida, said that in mid-March, a group of people from Fatehpur village and Unchi Dankuar attended the Tablighi Jamaat programme in Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi. “They had returned home but did not inform the police and the administration about their participation in the gathering. On April 1, the police and health department officials identified these 11 persons and quarantined them for two weeks,” he said.
The police said these people were released from the quarantine centre and their medical reports for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) were found to be negative. “They do not have symptoms of the disease. Dankaur police on Monday registered an FIR against them under Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code(IPC). They were produced before a magistrate and later released on bail,” he said.
