Twelve persons, including ten foreigners and two guides, were apprehended from a mosque in Patna who had been staying at the religious site without informing the authority concerned.

The foreign nationals had arrived from Kazakhstan. They were detained by the police after some locals in the Kurji area of the state capital complained about their unauthorised stay in the masjid.

“After verifying their papers, they will be sent for medical test,” the police source said here on Monday.
