However, the test samples showed that they were coronavirus negative.
An FIR was registered under relevant sections of IPC including 269, 270, 271, 188, Epidemic Diseases Act (1897), Passport Act (1967) Section 12 (3).
They were detained after the police got a tip-off regarding their presence in the mosque.
There has been a thorough search for the attendees of the Tablighi Jamaat religious gathering which was held in March.
It was reported that many of them were infected of the coronavirus and their travel to different parts of the country has resulted in the spread of the virus and spike in the number of cases.
