Mumbai, September 14
The anti-terror squad of the Mumbai police is questioning a city businessman after an email sent by those who set off blasts in Delhi yesterday was traced to his Internet Protocol address.

The police said the IP address was traced to computers in the premises of Kamran Power Systems, a company owned by KM Kamath, a resident of Chembur in North Central Mumbai.

Within hours of the mail being received by various media organisations, members of the Anti-terror Squad and the cyber crime cell were at the offices of the company.

Kamath and two members of the staff are being interrogated. According to the police, the company which is in the business of repairing power systems has been in existence since 1981.

The mail was sent from the open WiFi connection subscribed to by the company. According to Joint Police Commissioner Parambir Singh of the Anti-Terror Squad, the case is similar to that involving American national Kenneth Haywood whose computer was hacked into for sending the terror mail.

Another WiFi enabled computer installed at Khalsa college in the city was also hacked by the terror group which sent warning mails to media outlets after the Gujarat blasts last month.

“Both computers were not protected by passwords, thereby rendering them vulnerable to hacking,” Singh told mediapersons today.

While Kamath is under interrogation, his wife Sarika said the family had become “victims of technology”.

An organisation calling itself Indian Mujahideen that claimed responsibility for several blasts across the country had sent the email to media houses minutes before the Delhi blasts.

The police is on the lookout for Abdul Subhan, alias Tauqeer, an IT engineer formerly employed with Wipro, who later joined the Students' Islamic Movement of India.
