UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath called those involved in the incident ‘enemies of humanity’.

“They will neither accept the law nor follow arrangements. Whatever they did with women health workers is a heinous crime,” he said.

“The NSA is being invoked against them. We will not leave them,” he said, according to a government statement in Lucknow.

The Ghaziabad police said the Jamaat members were booked for indulging in ugly acts and passing lewd remarks against the women staff members at the hospital. A case was registered against them at the GT Road Kotwali on receiving a complaint from the chief medical officer.

Senior Superintendent of Police Kalanidhi Naithani said stringent action will be taken against them.

The NSA allows preventive detention up to 12 months without a charge if the authorities are satisfied that the person is a threat to the national security or law and order.

Over 150 members of the Jamaat have been quarantined at different hospitals in Ghaziabad.
