Vadodara
crime branch arrested nine people for violation of lockdown order and gathered
to offer Namaz at Panigate Mosque.

WHO declared
COVID 19 as pandemic and India is also in the grip of Coronavirus. Gujarat
government released guidelines to follow and in view of that Vadodara police
issued the notification to close down malls, multiplexes, cinema halls and ban
the gathering of people at one place to stop the virus from spreading.

As lockdown
in place the police request people to stay at home and not move out of their
houses unnecessarily. However many of them are still moving out and violate the
orders. In one such incident crime branch team arrested nine people gathered at
Panigate mosque to offer namaz.

They are
booked under various offences and further investigation is going on in the
matter.
