Security agencies have identified the owner of the two-wheeler in which the explosive material was planted at Zaveri bazar in Mumbai as cyber experts are looking into an email which may have some cross-border links.
Union Home Secretary R K Singh said investigations into the serial blasts in the metropolis was going on and several people were being questioned based on their "previous known linkages".
"This investigation is on. We have identified the scooter in which one of the bombs was planted," he told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

"We also have identified the scooter in which one of the bombs was planted. There are various leads based on our previous databases, various people are being questioned, so investigation is going on," he added.
