area in Hyderabad in connection with the 2012 Pune blasts.

Forensic experts said they would look for any similarity with previous blasts, including the 2007 Mecca Masjid case in which right-wing outfits have been named.

Nine people were killed in the Mecca Masjid blast on May 18, 2007. Though the Hyderabad Police arrested many Muslim youths in connection with the blast, it was later found to be the handiwork of the right wing terror network led by Swami Aseemanand. All were later acquitted by courts.

On August 25, 2007, two blasts at the crowded Lumbini Park and Gokul Chaat, a famous eatery, killed 42 people. Police arrested many Muslim youths, but all were acquitted later.
