Authorities have said some of those infected at the gathering had died, although the numbers have not yet been released. Police initially filed a case against Muhammad Saad Kandhalvi, the chief of the centre, for violating a ban on big gatherings but had now invoked the law against culpable homicide, a police spokesman said.
