At least three militants were killed by the police in an encounter early Thursday morning in Nagpur.
According to the police sources the militants were trying to sneak into the RSS headquarters, which is a high security area with round the clock security. The encounter is now over.
<b>The rebels were dressed up in police attire.</b>
A sub-inspector, who was posted at the permanent security camp in the premises, was injured in the encounter.
Police said they have recovered three Ak-47 rifles from the terrorists suspected to be belonging to Lashker-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit.
The arms and ammunitions were being transported in computer boxes.
<b>Prior information</b>
Ram Madhav, former RSS Spokesperson, said that around 4:00 am (IST), the militants came in an ambassador car and tried to enter the headquarters in Mahal in eastern part of the city but were challenged by the police.
He said that both the police and the RSS had prior information about the terrorists plan to carry out attack on the headquarters this week.
"We are happy that the police took firm action," he said.
Madhav said main concern now was the security of RSS offices all across the country and they were taking steps in this regard.
<b>PM condemns</b>
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned the terrorist attack at the RSS headquarters and appealed for calm and communal peace.
"The entire nation is united against terrorism. All communities should live in amity and peace," said Singh.
The arms seizure is the biggest seizure of RDX after the 1993 serial bomb blasts in Mumbai.
Authorities have sounded a red alert in Nagpur city. (With PTI inputs)
