The man accused of waging a number of bombing campaigns in India, including the 2006 Mumbai train blasts that killed 209 people and injured more than 700, has been captured after a shootout with police in Delhi, The Times reports.

Abdul Subhan Qureshi had been India’s most wanted man for a decade, and was sometimes referred to as "India’s Bin Laden”. He was captured in the Ghazipur district of the capital during security preparations for Friday’s Republic Day celebrations.

As well as his alleged involvement in the Mumbai bombings he was wanted in connection with a series of blasts in the western state of Gujarat in 2008, in which 56 people were killed, and bomb attacks in Delhi in 2010 and Bangalore in 2014.
