Tablighi Jamaat members had come from various countries and are currently lodged across several quarantine centres in the capital.
The Delhi Police has so far questioned over 400 foreign delegates of Tablighi Jamaat who attended the congregation at the organisation's headquarters at Nizamuddin in the capital in March.
These Tablighi Jamaat members had come from various countries and are currently lodged across several quarantine centres in the capital. after Markaz Nizamuddin was evacuated in late March.
They are among 700 foreigners whose passports have been impounded by the authorities on the charges that they violated visa norms by participating in religious activities.
Others will also be questioned by the police soon.
Last month, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had cancelled their visa and had issued Look Out Circulars (LOC) for them to stop them from leaving the country. Some of the Jamaatis from Malaysia were even held at the airport when they tried to leave on a special flight arranged by their government.
According to Delhi Police sources, their travel history is also being looked at as part of the investigation.
The chief of Tablighi Jamaat, Maulana Saad, is among those booked under various sections for allegedly violating lockdown norms.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Delhi High Court heard a plea seeking transfer of Nizamuddin case to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The court adjourned the hearing into the matter to May 28 after Delhi Police opposed the petition stating that investigation is going on fine.
The petition was filed by advocate Ghanshyam Upadhyay who has sought charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act UAPA act against Maulana Saad.
Including Saad, at least 17 people have been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder for holding a gathering in the Nizamuddin Markaz in March which the authorities say led to a big jump in coronavirus infections in India.
