Official sources said IP address of the tweet handle @IndianMujahidin was traced to Pakistan.
The account had claimed responsibility of the nine synchronised blasts that took place in Mahabodhi temple on July 7 morning, leaving two monks injured.
The sources said investigators are looking into the genuineness of the twitter handle but they are suspicious as it became active barely a day before the blasts shook Bodh Gaya, the highest seat of Buddhism where Gautam Buddha attained enlightenment.
The sources said they want to be sure about the location from where the messages were being posted as Pakistan's location could have been result of a proxy IP address.
Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde had yesterday said National Investigation Agency is looking into all possible angles, including the purported claim by Indian Mujahideen in a Twitter account about carrying out the blasts, and any possible link of the blasts with the issue of alleged atrocities on Rohangiya Muslims in Myanmar.
