Foreign Adviser Touhid Hossain today said there is no reason to believe the Indian media's claim that Pakistan-based terrorists are plotting to attack India using the soil of Bangladesh.

"The [Indian] media will try to put blame on us for whatever incidents. There is no reason to believe this. No sensible person can believe this," he told reporters at the foreign ministry.

Various Indian media outlets including Times of India, referring to a video, reported that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) commander Saifullah Saif has claimed that LeT founder Hafiz Saeed is actively planning attacks on India through Bangladesh.

At least eight people were killed on Monday evening after a car exploded near the Red Fort in Indian capital Delhi.

There is no official confirmation yet on what caused the blast, but Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the "conspirators" will be brought to justice.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, witnessed a deadly suicide bombing outside district court buildings, which claimed 12 lives. Terror outfit Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called it "India's state-sponsored terrorism".
