An important development has emerged in the 2003 bomb blast case, with the discovery of Chaneparambil Mohammed Bashir, also known as Cam Bashir, a crucial suspect who has been residing in Canada allegedly under an altered identity. In order to confirm the suspect's true identity, the Mumbai crime branch has filed an application with the Special Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) court at the Session court, seeking a DNA test of his relatives in Kerala. The application is moved based on the information received from Interpol, official sources said.

On March 13, 2003 a powerful blast occurred at Mulund railway station resulting in the loss of over 10 lives and injuring 70 people. Responding to the crime branch's plea, the Special Session court has granted permission for the examination of Suharabibi Ibrahim Kutti's DNA samples. Kutti, a resident of Aluva, Ernakulam in Kerala, strongly objected to this request through her counsel. The suspect in question, Chaneparambil Mohammed Bashir, also known as CAM Bashir, hails from Kerala and was formerly associated with the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the Mumbai police sought a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against him from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), sources added.
