New Delhi: Laskar-e-Toiba, the Pakistan-based terrorist group blamed for the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has bought 50 paragliding kits from Europe and intends them to launch attacks on India.
Sources in the government told CNN-IBN Laskar operatives are training to use the paragliding kits. Security agencies are carrying out mock drills to counter the threat.
Radars located at strategic locations have been tuned to intercept all low flying objects and authorities are not taking any chances, sources said.
A no-flying zone is already in place in capital's Luytens zone which houses the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Prime Minister's Office and key ministries like Home, Defence, Finance, External Affairs, among others.
Ahead of the Republic Day, elaborate air defence measures, including deployment of anti-aircraft guns, have also been taken to check possible intrusion of air space. Besides, helicopters of the Indian Air Force will hover over the areas around Rajpath and all along the route of the Republic Day parade.
