Two Islamist groups, Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Indian Mujahideen (Students' Islamic Movement of India), claimed responsibility for the bombing under pseudonymous names.

At the time of the explosion, the bakery's limited seating areas were full of students and foreign visitors from the nearby Osho Ashram.

Businessman Bharat Turakhia, who suffered shrapnel injuries from the blast, saved several lives by taking the victims to a hospital and helped the police in their investigation.

The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ashok Chavan, announced: "Regarding the compensation payment to the dead, the families will be paid ₨.500,000 (US$11,000) per person who has died in the unfortunate incident.
