Mtoday news / CNN-IBN

New Delhi, Sept 13: The second and the fourth Indian Mujahideen (IM) e-mails in the Delhi High Court blast case have been traced to Kolkata. The e-mails were sent from Chottuminaliayushman@gmail.com to a TV channel.

The person has been identified as Sunny Sharma. He has been called by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for questioning.

 

 

Earlier on Monday, the Jammu and Kashmir Police said that two more youths have been detained in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kishtwar town in connection with the HuJI e-mail claiming responsibility for the blast outside the Delhi High Court.

Sadiq Ahmed and Abid Hussain were being questioned in connection with the HuJI e-mail, they said.

The two are close relatives of surrendered militants Irshad Ahmed and Farooq Ahmed who have also been detained, the police said.

Meanwhile, investigators have found that one of the e-mails sent to TV news channels, claiming responsibility for the blast, was a hoax, according to sources.

The e-mail was traced to a man in Gujarat who has now been arrested by the Gujarat police. Reports say he has been suffering from depression ever since he lost his job. A case has been registered against him under the IT Act.

As many as 11 people have been detained so far in the e-mail case, they said adding over 50 people, mostly students, have been questioned so far.

The blast outside the Delhi High Court on Wednesday left 13 people dead and several others injured.
