This source from 31st March claims that "Roughly 1,900 Indians took part in this event", whereas all newer sources put the estimated number above 9,000 [1]. Tamil Nadu alone had 1,500+ attendees out of which 364 have tested positive. Telangana had 1,200 attendees and Karnataka had about 1,500 at the event. 117.213.160.58 (talk) 07:37, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Meanwhile, Union home ministry has said that about 9,000 Tablighi Jamaat members and their primary contacts have been quarantined till now across the country in view of the coronavirus infection.

I am withdrawing my agreement to the 9,000 figure because it is reliably learnt that the Nizamuddin Markaz Mosque houses only 2,000 people. The 2,000 figure is also consistent with loads of other sources. It looks like the Hindustan Times misinterpreted the information it got. There is loads of fake information or misinformation on this subject. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 21:33, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
