NEW DELHI: Investigations into the terror email sent by Indian Mujahideen (IM) hours after the Jama Masjid firing incident have revealed that a second-hand Nokia mobile handset purchased from a shop in Dongri in south Mumbai was used to send the threat mail.
However, the shopkeeper has no records of the person who bought the handset. Investigators believe that the terrorist bought a second-hand mobile to reduce the chances of getting traced.
A Tata Docomo prepaid mobile number — 897XXXX165 — registered at a fake Borivili address in the name of a woman was used to send the email on Sunday. "Analysis of the SIM card has further revealed that it was activated on September 14-15 and was not used for sending any message or email. It only contains welcome message from Tata Indicom. The GPRS which was used to send the email was activated on September 15. From the usage, it appears that it was a high-end handset," said a Mumbai ATS official.
A Delhi Police team, which is seeking help of Mumbai police has not made any headway from the email though it questioned the two men who sold the mobile and SIM card. Cops said that they are still awaiting the forensic report on the e-mail contents.
"It appears that the e-mail id — al.arbi999123@gmail.com — was created and then the IM mail was saved in the drafts. The email was created using a laptop or a desktop. The gmail ID was opened on the mobile at in Dongri and then the mail sent to media houses," said an officer.
