Hello and thank you for downloading witness with me Mike Lanchin.

It's ten years since seven simultaneous explosions tore through packed commuter trains

in the Indian Financial Center of Mumbai, leaving more than 180 people dead and hundreds

more wounded.

The attacks which took place on the evening of July the 11th, 2006 were blamed on Islamist militants supported by Pakistan's intelligence

agency.

Today's main news terror in the Indian city of Mumbai at least 135 people dying

explosions on the town's rail network hundreds more are injured

an eyewitness tells us of appalling carnage.

Till now I've seen some fatalities. I mean two to three deaths have already I've

already witnessed and people are burnt and amputations are I I mean people are just, I mean someone's heart,

our arms are broken, bleeding, I mean it's horrible out here.

But for Rakesh Kapoor who worked I mean it's horrible out here.

But for Rakesh Kapoor who worked in a private bank in Mumbai, that day had begun like any other day.

I started early in the morning as usual, but on that day I was officiating deputy manager because my deputy manager was on leave.

So I am carrying the charge of his duties also along with my duties. This was the only difference you can say.

And what time did you leave the office that day?

It's around 520 or 530 because I took the train

aboard at six around.

Rakesh would travel every day, the hour or so between his home on the outskirts of the city

and his work in the upmarket suburb of Bandra,

aboard one of the city's massively crowded passenger trains.
