In yet another twist to the Mukesh Ambani bomb scare case, the Telegram channel through which Jaish-Ul-Hind claimed responsibility for parking the SUV with gelatin sticks outside Mukesh Ambani s residence was created in Delhi s Tihar jail, according to sources in intelligence agencies.
However, Jaish-ul-Hind, which claims to be a terror group, later clarified that it had no relation with the incident.
The intelligence agencies tracked the IP address using which the Telegram channel @jaishulhind was created. They then tracked the SIM card used to access the internet. Once the SIM was traced, the intelligence agencies were able to pin the device in or around Tihar Jail in Delhi.

The incident comes as a major embarrassment to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government even as the opposition BJP demanded the resignation of state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh and that the case be transferred to the National Investigation Agency.
