MUMBAI: In a haunting replay of the 1993 Mumbai blasts, over 65 people were feared killed and more than a 100 injured when a series of explosions ripped through busy areas of the commercial capital on Monday afternoon.
While 42 people were killed in a blast at the crowded Mumba Devi temple, unconfirmed reports said 25 had died in a similar explosion at the Gateway of India.

Shaken eyewitnesses said this was the worst-ever such incident in Mumbai. Monday's incidents were shockingly reminiscent of the March 12, 1993 serial blasts, when 257 people died and 713 were injured. Twelve blasts had hit the city between 1.28 and 3.35 pm in the wake of heavy rioting after the Babri Masjid demolition.
Monday's blasts took place minutes after the Archaeological Survey of India claimed in a Lucknow court that it had found remains of a temple during its excavation at the disputed Babri Masjid Ram Janmbhoomi site in Ayodhya.
