PTI reports: Security agencies probing the recent Pune serial blasts have claimed that Mohammed Sajjid, a founding member of banned Indian Mujahideen, was the key suspect in the attack.

Official sources said today that a bicycle shop owner who was shown pictures of some suspects identified Sajjid alias 'Bada Sajjid' as the man who had purchased from him one of the cycles used in the explosions.

Low intensity bombs were strapped on to three bicycles and dustbins in five coordinated multiple explosions at J M Road in the heart of Pune on August 1 leaving one person injured.

The sources said the shopkeeper informed the investigators that the person who purchased a bicycle ahead of the explosions matched Sajjid's photograph.
