According to Rediff.com:
Even as the police force and the Intelligence Bureau verify the Deccan Mujahideen’s claims of orchestrating the Mumbai terror attacks, they are not ruling out the involvement of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), an offshoot of the Students Islamic Movement of India.
The IB points out that the e-mail sent by the Indian Mujahideen in September had made revealed their animosity towards Mumbai and the Anti Terrorist Squad.
The IM, in an email sent out in September, had warned the ATS against harassing Muslims in Mumbai and said that it was closely watching every move made by the squad.
In the email, the IM stated, “You ( the ATS) should know that your acts are not at all unnoticed; we are keeping an eye on you and just waiting for the right time to execute bloodshed. We are aware of your recent raids at Ansarnagar, Mograpada in Andheri and the harassment and trouble you created for the Muslims.”
The Intelligence Bureau believes that the Indian Mujahideen (IM) wanted to play it safe and hence has adopted a pseudo name of Deccan Mujahideen for this particular operation.
