New Delhi: Indian police have carried out sweeping raids targeting a banned political party in Indian-administered Kashmir, days after the deadliest blast in the Indian capital for more than a decade. There has been no confirmation that the searches this week are connected to Monday’s explosion — which killed at least 12 people near the historic Red Fort in the capital’s Old Delhi quarter.

Blasts in the capitals of India and Pakistan on Monday and Tuesday killed 13 and 12 people, respectively.
