This has left the authorities baffled as to how the members of the temple, which was closed for outsiders, contracted the deadly virus.
“No one was allowed into the temple. I don’t understand how so many people have been infected given so much care was taken,” Gendaria Police Station OC Saju Miah said.
The patients have been isolated and are undergoing treatment.
