Investigation
Mumbai Police deployed Anti Terrorism Squad to assist the local investigating authorities in Malegaon. Police say that unsophisticated, crude bombs, identical to those that detonated in Delhi 3 days before, were used. The investigation was led by Mumbai Anti Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare, who was later killed in the 2008 Mumbai Attacks.
Police across India, especially in Delhi, received a number of hoax calls and SMSes, hampering the investigation.
On 5 October police said they had arrested a man in connection to the bombings. PTI reported that further investigations were under way, with more arrests expected.
