JAMMU, Sept 9: A joint team of National Investigation Agency (NIA), Jammu and Kashmir Police today detained a teenage boy who is alleged to have sent the Harkat-ul-Jihadi-Islami (HuJI) email claiming responsibility for bomb blast outside the Delhi high. 
The BA first year student was picked up after a three-hour search at a college in Kishtwar and was whisked away to Global Cyber Cafe for interrogation by a joint team of police, National Investigation Agency and cyber experts. The team was led by Deputy Inspector General (Kishtwar-Doda-Ramban range) Muneesh Sinha. 
Investigators had traced the HuJI email claiming responsibility for the blast to the Global Cyber Cafe in Kishtwar. 
HuJI had on Wednesday claimed responsibility for the blast. We own responsibility of the blast at the High Court, Delhi. Our demand is that Afzal Guru's death sentence should be repealed immediately as we would target major High Courts and the Supreme Court of India," the HuJI email had said. 
The cafe has been sealed and policemen in plain clothes have been deputed outside the shop. A team of NIA and experts from Hyderabad are in Kishtwar to probe the email link with the Delhi blast that killed 13 people. 
Meanwhile investigation is on to find the sources of another mail from IM was purportedly written by "Chotoo" and sent from "chotoominani5@gmail.com". The mail was received by the media houses at 12:37 PM today. Security agencies including National Investigation Agency (NIA) are also looking into the IM e-mail but serious apprehensions were being raised whether this was a genuine mail or a prank being played by somebody. 
Meanwhile Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Thursday said investigation into the e-mail claiming responsibility for the Delhi High Court blast, which has been traced to Kishtwar district of the state, is in an "advanced stage". 
"I am not in a position to share any details with you, other than the fact that various leads have been shared with us and we are in advanced stage of investigating those leads," Omar said on the sidelines of a function here. 
The Chief Minister was replying to a question about the email allegedly sent by the Harkat-ul-Jehadi-Islami ( HuJI), traced to Kishtwar district of Jammu division, in which the militant group claimed responsibility for the Delhi attack in which 11 people were killed yesterday. 
Omar said the nation demanded answers from those responsible for the security as to who was behind the attack.
