The arrested men were members of the home-grown Indian Mujahideen (IM) outfit and were behind a series of blasts in August in the western city of Pune that left one person injured, New Delhi police commissioner Neeraj Kumar said.
The IM is an India-based terrorist group which has carried out several attacks on civilian targets.
"With the three arrests we have prevented a major strike in Delhi," Kumar told reporters.
He said the arrests followed the interrogation of Syed Zabiuddin, who was arrested in June in connection with the 2008 Mumbai attacks which left 166 people dead. Police believe Zabiuddin belonged to the LeT.
"These three arrested men are Indian operatives and linked to a Lashkar figure [Zabiuddin] so it proves that the two groups have close links at some level," Kumar said, adding the suspects had been picked up after travelling to the capital.
The IM claimed responsibility for blasts in July 2008 in Ahmedabad city when 45 died and in Delhi two months later when 20 people were killed.

Pak is in half-neck water of terrorism , But see they blame it on Hindus . I don't want to reiterate the things , but Please check the identity of the terrorists . And without any bias, I won't mind to say that these things are very common in countries where a perticular community lives , because facts and figures say this .These people needs serious education . If These are the so called Mujahidins , then I admit I am a coward .Those who are paranoid about Hindus should come out of their self created gheto to understand and realise other communities . Perhaps that can eradicate their thought of superiority from their mind.
This is what Pakistani liberals are screaming about for ages but nobody listens. Why Pakistani people don't understand that India and USA are not our enemies. We should first abandon Let and likes and stop complaining about plight of Muslims in India. We should also support drone strikes which is very effective against terrorists who would have otherwise killed many innocent civilians and precious US marines. After all, India and the US are great democracies and we love them so much!
@Najeeb Ullah Baloch: well done boy. qualified for 'product of pakistan' label on your face.
@Najeeb Ullah Baloch Col Purohit is cooling his heels in Prison along with his accomplices,and they have no hope of any release at least in near future.they were the Indian agencies which busted him,which according to you were hand in glove with him.how contradictory?now juxtapose this case with whats happening in Pakistan.one gentleman,running a plethora of terrorist organizations has such clout that he is not even touched by a long pole by the investigation agencies. whenever a few foot soldiers are caught once in a blue moon, are released with full honor by Pakistani judiciary.however their swiftness in cases of Political vendetta and blasphemy is worth watching. MR Baloch you better care about your province if at all you live there,currently you are facing more danger from FC and Shia sunni feud rather than from so called ''Hindu'' forces.
@Najeeb Ullah Baloch " They are your Indian terrorists Trained By the Hindu terrorist organization RAW.. like Hindu active duty Terrorist Col. Prohit Who had been planting Bombs across India with the Nod of the Hindu Secret Terrorist Agency while Hindu Regime was blaming it on its neighbors. So. No one in its neighborhood believe in Hindu Regime’s statements.. Now, as far as the Superpower is concerned I want to bring to your attention to the Fate of Two Super Powers in Afghanistan… So Only Super Power we accept is God.. Rest we give a Dime.. Go deal with your Own Hindu Terror , we are not interested."
Gosh !!! You repeated the word "Hindu" 7 times in just one paragraph. Whats up ?? Why are you paranoid about "Hindus".
GOOD!
@Najeeb Ullah Baloch: hahahaha.........do you think anyone cares for your line of theory? Your neighbour is a growing economic powerhouse and has a much better say in the world politics than what you think. Even Tony Blair recently quoted that the West should have listened to India when it gave early warning on War on Terror. Today, when India makes a statement, the world listens. You better listen, if you aren't interested, you may remain in your shanty town forever. The world is not interested in you...........understand your ground reality.

Feed them with fork every day and throw them to tigers.
dare not enter superpower
nothing to worry. Our congress ministers will get them released- on the grounds that they are minorities and are falsely implicated.
Good efforts.
