"Entry to an internet cafe in the city will now be only possible on showing your identity proof, with police asking cafe owners to allow only those with bonafide identity proof to use the facility. Apart from checking the identity of the user, owners will now have to maintain a log of user activity in the cafe, a new regulation promulgated by Mumbai Police has stipulated. Mumbai police sources said that the decision to make identity proof necessary was taken in wake of the July 11 blasts probe, which revealed that some of the blasts suspects had been using internet cafes regularly to be in touch with other suspects."
