"We are investigating the email link from Kishtwar district in connection with the Delhi blast," DGP Kuldeep Khoda said.
There is an input about an email being sent from Kishtwar district, he said, adding police is working on it.
According to police sources, the email was sent from a cyber cafe in Kishtwar from the address harkatuljihadi2011@gmail.com
The owners, Khajwa Mehmood Aziz and his brother Khalid Aziz, were being questioned and police were scanning the records of the cyber café and the people who visited it Wednesday.
Jammu and Kashmir Police had conducted raids after it became known that the email, purportedly by Harkat-ul Jehadi Islami, had been sent from a cyber café in Kishtwar.
The National Investigation Agency zeroed in on Global Internet Cafe at Malik Market in Kishtwar as the place from where the email was sent.
The outfit had yesterday claimed responsibility for the blast outside the Delhi High Court which killed 12 people and injured over 70.
"We own responsibility of the blast at the High Court, Delhi. Our demand is that Afzal Guru's death sentence should be repealed immediately as we would target major High Courts and the Supreme Court of India," the HuJI email said.
Secretary (Internal Secretary) in the Home Ministry, U K Bansal had said yesterday that the NIA is also verifying the authenticity of the email received by two media channels.
Asked about the communication received by TV channels, Director General of NIA S C Sinha had said, "It is too premature to comment on the HuJI mail but we are looking at it seriously because HuJI is a very prominent terrorist group which considers India as target number one."
Delhi Police has in the past arrested several HuJI militants from the national capital.
