The Mumbai police on Monday claimed to have cracked terror e-mail case with the arrest of an alleged Wi-Fi hacker.

The hacker, said to be Mohd Mansoor Asgar, was working with a top multinational company and was drawing a salary of Rs 19 lakh per year.

Hailing from a highly educated family, Asgar, the police said, was the key person behind all the terror mails sent moments before the blasts.


The Mumbai Police held a press conference this evening to announce that they have busted the media wing of Indian Mujahideen, which used to send emails before the serial bomb blasts. At least 20 people have been arrested in connection with this. The accused were arrested from Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Azamgarh and Gujarat.

According to Mumbai Police, the arrested people were trained by Abdul Subhan Qureshi. They all are highly educated and worked in big corporate companies. One of the arrested, Mohd. Asgar is earning Rs. 19 lakh per annum in a MNC. The police recovered 5 laptops and CPUs from these suspects. The police admitted family members of these suspects did not know anything about their activities.

The arrested Indian Mujahideen members were planning blasts during Navratri celebrations. The Mumbai Police is now probing the money flow via hawala and more arrests are likely to be taken place over the next few days.
