The Indian police have revealed that the Lashkar-e-Taiba extremist group was planning to carry out terror strikes in the capital city of New Delhi, local media reported Saturday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the NDTV television channel, the police filed a complaint earlier this month saying that attacks were possible in different parts of the city, targeting crowded areas.

Lashkar-e-Taiba is one of the largest extremist groups in South Asia, mainly working in Pakistan, as well as in the contested Kashmir region.

Lashkar-e-Taiba is believed to be behind the deadly Mumbai bombings in 2008 that left 166 dead and 300 injured in India's most populous city.
