PATNA: No one has been arrested for attacking doctors, paramedics and policemen at Hasratganj under Kasimbazaar police station in Munger district on Wednesday when they tried to take six persons of the locality for isolating them as a precautionary measure against Covid-19.
Four named and more than 100 unknown persons had been made accused in the FIR in this connection.
A senior police officer, preferring anonymity, said the entry and exit points of lane number 15 of Hasratganj were sealed because a Covid-19 positive person belonged to that area.

“An 8-year-old girl, who was neighbour of the Covid-19 patient, had also died there. Her body was buried with utmost precaution. On Wednesday, the team had reached Hasratganj to actually take her parents and four siblings to an isolation centre when people of the locality attacked the docs and cops,” he said.
He said the positive patient is an ambulance driver, who had taken the man from Munger to Patna for treatment. “That patient had died at NMCH before his test report tested positive for Covid-19,” he said.
The officer said the driver’s two children, his wife and mother had already been isolated.
Meanwhile, in Madhubani, two more were arrested on Thursday in connection with the attack on police team near a mosque under Andhrathadhi police station for urging people to maintain social distancing.

SHO Amrit Lal said six persons had been arrested and raids were on to nab the other accused. “It seems the incident was pre-planned as large number of stones and bricks were kept there. Someone had intentionally informed authorities about the gathering,” Lal said, adding 40 persons were named accused in the FIR lodged in this connection.
Lal said Madna panchayat mukhiya’s husband Mohammad Kamru Zaman was the mastermind of the incident. He is evading arrest. He said four women and two male constables were injured in the attack.

We had asked people assembled outside their homes to either go inside or maintain social distance.While returning, we were attacked. Islam was the mastermind.
