However, Talreja on interrogation by the Police said that he was innocent and his Wi-Fi network was hacked to deliver the terror email. Shocked by the incident, Talreja insisted people to have a password for their account.

Sources have confirmed that the email was sent through an unsecured Wi-Fi connection of the Airtel broadband and in regard with that Police immediately picked up father and son to question in connection with the email. Although the two were later released.

Unsecured Wi-Fi connections became the means of communications of the terrorist group through which they sent mails to media houses within minutes of the blast taking place that killed an infant and injured 37 people.

The used email ID was of Gmail and the mail was written on December 6 in the account that was rarely used. The speculation of the hour is that the email was sent from an ID that belongs to a little known group called Al-Fateh, possibly a front used by the Indian Mujahideen (IM) to mislead investigators.

IM in the mail said that the explosion was in response to the latest Ayodhya verdict. High alert has been issued across the region following the blast.

The police in Mumbai are busy finding the culprits after the trace was located in Mumbai.
