BOMBAY, India — A bomb exploded on a passenger train Thursday at a station in Bombay, India's financial hub, killing at least 10 people and injuring 55.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Panic swept the crowded station, and traffic on the route was stopped, witnesses said.
"I am in the train car. Part of the roof has been blown off," ruling party lawmaker Kirit Somaiya told a TV station by telephone. "It is a horrible sight."
Another witness, Pratiksha Naik, reached the scene a few minutes after the blast. "I saw police helping passengers smeared in blood out of the train," Naik said by telephone.
Islamic hardline groups have carried out at least two crude bomb attacks in the past four months in Bombay, located on India's western coast, police said.
Thursday's blast "was bigger than the crude bomb explosions," said Mukhopadhyay, the government official.
