Mumbai: The unclaimed body at Sion Hospital in central Mumbai is now in the focus of Maharashtra Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS).
ATS is ascertaining if the person killed was one of the perpetrators of the serial blasts as has been claimed in one of the e-mails received by a TV channel.
ATS chief K P Raghuvanshi said a DNA profiling has been done of the deceased and experts have been asked to prepare a sketch of the dead who's only upper torso and multiated face are intact.
The person is suspected to have died in one of the blasts either at Mahim or Matunga railway station on July 11, he said.
An e-mail received by a TV channel has claimed that all the executors of the blasts escaped safely, except one who was killed in the blasts.
Raghuvanshi said veracity of this claim in the e-mail can be ascertained only when the unclaimed body is identified.
He said two persons, who were searching for their missing relatives, had visited the mortuary in the past few days to have a look at the deceased but they returned saying that the body was not of their kin.
"One of them told the people (at the mortuary) that he would return with his uncle living in Madhya Pradesh to identity the body again," Raghuvanshi said.
Meanwhile, the Madhya Pradesh police arrested a teenager from Bhopal for sending a prank mail to a local daily by claiming to be the MP chief of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and owning responsibility for the Mumbai blasts.
The ATS chief said the boy had claimed he had sent the e-mail as a prank and to gain publicity.
