Ten years ago on this day, a series of seven bomb blasts took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai. The bombs were set off in pressure cookers on trains plying on the Western line of the Suburban Railway network.

A special court in Mumbai convicted twelve of those accused and acquitted one.

Over 200 people were killed and more than 700 left injured.
