JAMMU, Sept 8: Police has detained five people in connection with the blast in New Delhi after email which claimed to have taken responsibility for the blast was traced to Kishtwar district.
Sources said that two college students and three people who were managing the cyber café were detained for the questioning by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Investigators traced the Bangladesh-based terror outfit Harkat-ul-Jehadi Islami (HuJI) email claiming responsibility to a cybercafe in Kishtwar in J&K and detained its owner Mehmood Khawja and two others for questioning.
The death toll in the blast that ripped through the reception complex rose to 12 with a 40-year-old man succumbing to his injuries at RML Hospital even as the high court resumed full-fledged proceedings after tight security checks at the entry gates.
"We are investigating the email link in connection with the Delhi blast and investigation is going on" J&K DGP Kuldeep Khoda said in Jammu.
They have been identified as Khajwa Mehmood Aziz, his brother Khalid Aziz, Ashwani Kumar, Mohammed Imran of Malipath and Ashiq Hussain.
The 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.
