Maharashtra Police on Saturday claimed they have identified the terror group responsible for the July 13 Mumbai blasts in which 27 people were killed.

The group behind the attack has been identified, Director General of Police Ajit Parasnis told reporters in Kolhapur in Western Maharashtra.

“We have got information (about the blasts) but it needs to be investigated properly for leads,” said Mr. Parasnis, but refused to divulge the name of the outfit.

The metropolis was rocked by three bomb blasts — at Zaveri Bazaar, Opera House and Dadar.
