New Delhi: Security at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in New Delhi has been beefed up following disclosures made by arrested Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) militants that the complex along with senior party leaders were among the outfit's prime targets in Delhi.

Senior police officials have since visited the headquarters located at Ashoka Road in the capital's high security zone and held discussions with party leaders on ways and means to strengthen security measures, police sources said.

Parking of vehicle, including that of the media inside the headquarter premises and an adjoining building, had been barred since the Mumbai blasts and all visitors are being thoroughly frisked and issued entry slips as a precautionary measure, the sources said.

Besides the party headquarters, the main targets of the outfit include among others party president M Venkaiah Naidu and general secretaries Pramod Mahajan and Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, they said.

The disclosures were made by terrorists, who were arrested during last weekend's crackdown on the Pakistan-based outfit, during their sustained interrogation by sleuths of Delhi Police and central intelligence agencies, the sources said.

Noor Mohammad Tantray, one of the arrested militants who hails from Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir, had "receded" the party headquarters before he was arrested on August 30.

"He came in the guise of a BJP minority morcha activist and inquired about the rooms and locations of different party leaders," the sources said.
