They also interrogated several Dervishes about the beating of one of their colleagues by unknown individuals. They threatened that if they did not find the assailant, Dervishes would pay the price. In addition, at least six Dervishes were summoned to the local office of the IRGC intelligence. In reaction to these events, tens of Gonabadi Dervishes from across the country went to Karaj to protect the hosseinieh against any attack. Despite the tensions, no confrontation occurred.
