"We are not dismissing receiving the emails. At the same time, we are not saying that these emails have been necessarily sent by those people responsible for the blast," Singh told reporters.

"It could be other people who, when they heard about the blast, sent these emails," he added.

A bomb blast outside the Delhi high court on Wednesday killed 13 people and injured more than 90.
