A couple of days ago, the senior inspector developed symptoms and got admitted to Nashik hospital. Consequently, tests were conducted at Mumbra police station too.

"Last week, Mumbra police had conducted a raid to trace Tablighi Jamaat members. The senior police inspector and a few officers were part of the team," said a senior cop. "After the raid, the senior inspector went to his hometown, Nashik, and developed symptoms of Coronavirus. He was admitted to a hospital where he was found to be infected." "Out of the 32 personnel tested, three are positive. The rest have been quarantined too," said Sunil Ghosalkar, Assistant CP of Kalwa division. "We are taking care of the officers and have been asked to reach out to those who contacted the officers or visited the police station," he said.
