The 'Nihangs', who had attacked the Punjab policemen and chopped-off hands of ASI Harjeet Singh have been arrested at a local Gurdwara Khichri Sahib near Patiala.
A group of five 'Nihangs', armed with swords and iron rods, were travelling in a vehicle and they were asked to stop at a vegetable market at 6.15 am by Mandi board officials.
On 8th April, a group identifying itself as 'Indian Scientists' Response to COVID-19' (ISRC) issued a public statement giving a clean chit to the Tablighi Jamaat attendees in their role of being super spreaders for Chinese coronavirus in India.
The J&K police official said that a person from the village was to be taken for screening but his family members refused and kept the medical team hostage inside their house.
