Delhi Police had alerted its Bihar counterpart and intelligence agencies about Bodh Gaya temple being on the radar of terror outfits, according to senior police official here.

According to the police, IM operatives had told them that they were planning Pune-like blasts in Delhi and Bihar for which they had specifically spent around two weeks doing a recce of the temple town.
The officer also said that a team of Delhi police is planning to visit Bodh Gaya to share the information it had received from IM operatives with the security agencies investigating the blasts.
