Six people have been arrested by the Gurgaon Police for preventing Muslim men from offering “namaz” at a vacant plot in Wazirabad village here.
Tension had gripped the village after the incident, a video of which has been doing the rounds of social media.
According to the Gurgaon Police, around 500 Muslim men had gathered at the plot to offer Friday prayers a week ago.
