Police said the raid was carried out after a suspect arrested earlier gave them information on militants hiding in New Delhi.


Singh said one of the dead militants was a close associate of Abdul Subhan Qureshi, alias Tauqeer, a convent-educated computer expert and member of a banned Islamic students' group, who has been named as the chief suspect in the New Delhi attacks.


Authorities claimed today's raid marked significant progress in investigations into those bombings. More than 100 people were also wounded in the blasts.
