Intelligence Bureau officials tell OneIndia that although the same group claimed responsibility, there is no link between the two incidents. First and foremost, the group is a non-existent one and has no operational capabilities.
In the Mumbai case, the agencies traced the message to the phone of Indian Mujahideen terrorist Tehseen Akthar. The official cited above says that the Jaish-ul-Hind is not Indian Mujahideen 2.0.
