2003 Mumbai Mulund station blast: When explosion in Karjat-bound train killed 10 people

Of the 10 people who died, four were women, including two constables and two passengers in the first-class compartment, while the other six men were in the adjacent second-class compartment.

The March 2003 attack took place after bomb blasts in December 2002 and January 2003 in the city.

In a matter of months, Mumbai city witnessed successive bomb attacks targeting local trains, resulting in multiple casualties and widespread panic. The bomb attacks had a long-lasting impact on the people living in the city.

Over the next few years, several people linked to the attacks were taken into custody by the security forces.

Taking a strong stand, the administration had beefed up security at the railway stations across the city.

In June last year, it was reported that Interpol had detained a person in Canada, who is believed to be CAM Basheer, a former member of SIMI and a suspect in the 2003 train bomb blast case.

Basheer, a Kerala-born aeronautical engineer, was earlier the national president of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). He was listed 43rd on the wanted list of Indian security agencies.

At Mumbai Police's request, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) against him earlier.

According to police, he was running several terror camps in Saudi Arabia and was responsible for brainwashing many Muslim youths enrolled.
