Munna Khan, 62, a scavenger working in the toilet said, “At 8.15 am, I saw three men each carrying a cloth bag coming inside the toilet all at once. One was a tall, bearded man of about 50, another a shorter, bearded man of the same age, and the third was a teenager maybe aged 18.”

Purshottam B Solanki, 33, a contractor in-charge of railway lavatories spotted a small water bottle, with a red wire connected to it, during a routine check at Byculla station platform last morning. He immediately alerted the railway police of a suspected bomb and trains passing through this station were diversified.

ATS receives anonymous call

ATS officials claim that they received an anonymous telephone call in the morning and they rushed to the spot and took charge of the explosives.

The bomb was defused at Girgaum Chowpatty with a defining sound. Joint Commissioner of Police (ATS) K P Raghuvanshi said, “It was a ready-to-use explosive.

However, the detonator or batteries, which could have acted as the triggering device, were missing.

It is suspected that over one kg of explosives were concealed inside the water bottle.” JCP Raghuvanshi also said that one of the substances found in the bomb included ammonium nitrate.

Bombay is in my opinion the best place to live in India. Not as uncivilised as some places (such as the capital city).
