India already suffered from a similar series of blasts in Jaipur, in May 2008.
The Times of India has reported that either the banned organisation Students Islamic Movement of India or the militant organisation Lashkar-e-Toiba could be behind these blasts. The Intelligence Bureau is not ruling out the involvement of these organisations, however the police maintain that it is too early to attribute blame to anyone.
The bombings were followed by the 2008 Ahmedabad bombings one day later.
