NEW DELHI: Police have raided a house near India's financial capital Mumbai as part of a probe into a series of bomb attacks in the western city of Ahmedabad that killed 45 people, reports said on Sunday.
The police seized a computer they say was the source of an email claiming responsibility for Saturday's attacks on behalf of a little-known Islamist group calling itself the "Indian Mujahedeen," the reports said.
A similar email was sent to news channels by the same group after a series of blasts in May in the western Indian city of Jaipur that killed more than 60 people.
A national news channel said the property raided was rented to a US national. No arrests or detentions were made but authorities confiscated the computer's hard drive, another news channel reported.
In Ahmedabad, police also conducted raids overnight and detained an undisclosed number of people in the connection with the attacks, which also left 162 people injured, a news agency reported.
"Our teams conducted search operations at various places yesterday night and detained a number of persons," the city's crime branch chief Ashish Bhatia said.
