A group calling itself the "Deccan Mujahedeen" claimed responsibility for the attacks in India's commercial hub Mumbai that killed more than 60 people, the Press Trust of India says.
The outfit sent emails to various media outlets saying it carried out the attacks across the city, the news agency said.
Another little-known Islamic group, the Islamic Security Force-Indian Mujahedeen, had claimed responsibility for serial blasts last month in India's northeast state of Assam that claimed nearly 80 lives.
Meanwhile, an Indian police official says hostages are being held at two luxury Mumbai hotels and at least 78 people have been killed and 200 have been injured after gunmen opened fire on a crowded train station, hotels and a restaurant popular with tourists.
