A lockdown of 21 days has been done due to Coronavirus in India. Now that the Tabhlighi Jamaat has increased the risk of infection across the country, the Union Home Ministry says that before the lockdown, on March 21, Chief Secretaries and Director Generals of Police of all the states were warned by writing letters. The Commissioner of Delhi Police was also involved in this. In Telangana, as soon as some of the Jamaat people were confirmed infected, the Home Ministry had said that all the states had said that they were asked to identify all the indigenous and foreign people involved in it and then check its corona.

On this serious matter, according to a senior Home Ministry official, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) also wrote letters to the DGP of all the states on 28 and 29 March warning people associated with the Jamaat against the danger of spreading of corona. The Intelligence Bureau had reported that Tabhlighi, who had returned to participate in Nizamuddin's death, could be infected with the Coronavirus, so states should identify all those who came in contact with them and arrange to keep them in isolation. The IB had asked the states to take immediate steps in this direction.

The conference of Tabhlighi Jamaat was held in Delhi from 13 to 15 March 2020. According to government sources, 2000 people attended it, of which 700-800 were foreigners. It is also being investigated as to what kind of visa foreign nationals had joined. So far, the Ministry of Home Affairs has never investigated it, but it is believed that all these tourists have been coming on visa while in reality they should take conference visa. Right now the Ministry of Home Affairs is investigating this and the government will not hesitate to try the option of blacklisting those who are found to be in violation of the visa rules. Such a meeting of the Jamaat often takes place once or two months in which foreigners have come in large numbers.
