Anil Deshmukh: Maharashtra's 50 attendees of Tablighi Jamaat missing

Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Tuesday said 50 of the 1,400 people who returned to the state attending the religious congregation of Tablighi Jamaat in Delhi have been missing, and warned of stern action against them if they do not approach the government.

He urged those people to voluntarily come forward and get in touch with the state government authorities. The state government will quarantine them and take care of them if they approach the authorities, he said.

"And the remaining 50 who have returned have kept their mobiles phones switched off. Hence, we urge them to voluntarily approach the government," he told a news channel.
