Bomb scare in Mumbai's Powai locality

MUMBAI: A bomb disposal squad was called in the Powai area of Mumbai on Friday after passengers found an unclaimed package on a crowded bus.
A busy street was cordoned off in Powai and police vacated the bus after passengers found a "suspicious-looking" bag, said Rajendra Darda, Maharashtra state urban minister.
"Sniffer dogs gave a positive indication, so there could be explosives.But the area has been made safe," said Darda.
The police control room was flooded with phone calls Friday from worried commuters making reports of unclaimed baggage, a day after a blast on a train killed 11 and injured 64 Bombay commuters.
Police say groups, such as the banned Students'' Islamic Movement of India, were responsible for at least two of three bomb attacks in the past four months in the city. They have arrested six men for plotting the explosions.
"But it is too early to name a group," said Mumbai''s Police Chief Ranjit Sharma, when asked if militants could have been involved in Thursday''s train blast.
