 Indian police arrested 39 people in an anti-terror sweep ahead of a major national holiday, detaining landlords who had failed to register tenants with authorities, an official said Tuesday. The arrests over the past 24 hours were part of “intensified anti-terrorist measures because of Republic Day,” which falls on Jan 26 and marks the adoption of the country’s constitution in 1950, said New Delhi Police Spokesman Rajan Bhagat. Most of the arrests were in poor parts of eastern New Delhi, although others were detained elsewhere in the capital. |
