In November 2019, a 55-year-old man from the Hubei province in China was diagnosed with a new disease caused by a new virus SARS-CoV-2. In the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has infected an enormous amount of people worldwide. Countries closed their borders, announced lockdowns, and asked people to follow protective measures against the new coronavirus, such as physical distancing and handwashing. 

Conspiracy theories suggests that SARS-CoV-2 as a human-manufactured virus created in a laboratory, possibly as a biological weapon, and was intentionally or accidentally released. 

Indian authorities fear that many thousands of people may have been exposed to the virus as a result of the congregation of the Tablighi Jamaat group at a mosque in the Nizamuddin neighborhood of New Delhi in 2020. In India, at least 647 attendees have shown symptoms of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, while six people have already died. (India has officially recorded 2,567 cases and 72 deaths in the first quater of 2020) Those who attended the Nizamuddin event are engaged in spreading the infection across the country. Many of the participants are still missing. Many rightist activist said "One can smell Corona Jihad behind all this".
