Coronavirus: India doctors spat at and attacked
Police say the Tablighi Jamaat gathering in Delhi's Nizamuddin Area which began on 3 March not ended even when India announced a lockdown on 24 March .
However the organisation says they had suspended the event and asked everyone to leave as soon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that there would be a day-long national curfew on 22 March .
While many were able to leave, they say, others were stranded because states began to seal their borders the following day, and two days later, India went into lockdown suspending buses and trains .
The mosque's premises include dormitories that can house hundreds of people .
The organisers say they informed the local police about all of this and continued to
co-operate with medical officers who came to inspect the premises .
