3 detained in Indian Kashmir over New Delhi blasts

Police from New Delhi raided several places in the state summer capital Srinagar over the October 29 Delhi blasts that killed 62 people, said local police, speaking on condition of anonymity.

They said a man identified as Muhammad Hanief was arrested in the city's congested old district of Kawadara and two to three other people were picked up elsewhere for questioning.

The latest raids follow the capture of alleged mastermind Tariq Dar, a suspected member of Pakistan-based Islamic militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, in Srinagar Thursday.

Dar, who has not been charged, was linked to the blasts at two crowded markets and a bus in New Delhi, police said.
