India's Maoist guerrillas are believed to have spread into the country's major cities such as the national capital New Delhi, the government said on Tuesday.
The statement in parliament followed questions by a lawmaker on the expanding influence of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-M) rebels, who were earlier active only in rural areas.
'Activities of the CPI-Maoist and their frontal organisations have been reported in urban areas of various states,' junior home minister Jitendra Prasad said.
The minister listed Bangalore, India's software hub, commercial hub Mumbai, New Delhi, the eastern city of Kolkata and the southern city of Chennai among 10 cities where the presence of guerrillas has been detected.
