A large religious gathering in New Delhi has sparked a manhunt across India for suspected coronavirus cases after being linked to dozens of infections and several deaths.

The gathering emerged as one of India's major virus hotspots after thousands flocked to an Islamic religious centre in the Nizamuddin West neighbourhood of Delhi.Some returned home to other states after the gathering, but many remained in the vicinity, saying they were trapped because public transport had been shut down due to the virus.

More than 1,000 people were taken in buses from the area by police, with 335 admitted to hospital and the rest quarantined, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain told reporters Tuesday. The Press Trust of India said around 8,000 people took part in the event, with Telangana officials saying at least 1,000 attendees were from that state alone.Delhi officials estimated that almost 300 foreigners attended the gathering, the Press Trust of India reported."A grave crime has been committed," Jain said of the event, which took place as the Delhi government started to introduce restrictions on large gatherings on March 13.

It said attendees were stranded after public transport was shut down ahead of a nationwide curfew imposed from March 25.

The reality of Islam, a man made religion. There is no god called Allah. Sorry for the bad news Muslims, do your research on the history of your religion. Be strong and wise to realize the truth, set yourself free from the superstition.

I guess violent acts from police don’t help isolating people.
