INDORE: Police in Bhopal on Wednesday caught a youth who sent an email, purportedly from the MP chief of SIMI, to the office of Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar on July 16.
 
Sumit Tamrakar, a businessman’s son, wrote in the email that the recipient will find a two-page document in the donation box of a local temple. Bhaskar got the document in which it was written that SIMI would target Bhopal on Tuesday (July 18) if the ban on it is not lifted.
 
Bhaskar’s IT engineers helped police reach Tamrakar, who had sent the email from a cyber café.
 
The email TV channels got on July 15 from a group calling itself Lashkar-e-Kahar was indeed sent from Indore, MP police sources said.
 
One of the channels traced the email, in which the group claimed responsibility for the July 11 serial blasts, to a cyber café in the city’s Khajrana locality.
 
State police had dismissed the report as rumour. But an officer said it is true and the sender had hacked into the email of a person based in Delhi. The email was probably routed through a BSNL server.
 
The officer said the case has been kept under wraps and is being handled by top officers of the Maharashtra police. Inspector General of Police (Indore range) Shailendra Srivastava said his department has no information about the development.
