During investigations into the July 26 serial blasts that left over 50 people dead, security agencies and police claimed to have found certain leads suggesting that Qureshi had left Ahmedabad for Mumbai, barely two days before the audacious attack, official sources said here on Monday.

He is alleged to be the person who had sent emails from the unsecured internet connection of Ken Haywood to various television channels and newspaper dailies minutes before the blasts, they said.

Security agencies claimed that Qureshi is believed to have organised training camps for banned SIMI members between 2006 and 2008.

The fresh email, that was circulated to various TV channels and newspapers, transmitted from Khalsa College in Mumbai also gave credence to the intelligence input that Qureshi was in the metropolis. The email received last week, under the banner of Indian Mujahideen, had photographs of a least two of the stolen cars to establish it as genuine.

The alleged architect of Ahmedabad bombings used to work in a reputed computer firm before joining banned SIMI. His associates in the organisation include Rahil Abdul Rehman Sheikh, alleged mastermind in the Mumbai’s serial train blasts in 2006 and Ehtesham Siddiqi, the former SIMI Maharashtra general secretary who is now being tried for his alleged role in the attacks.
