THE death toll from last week's bombings in India's financial hub rose to 20 yesterday as Mumbai police pursue leads gathered from the three blast sites.
A man succumbed to severe burn injuries he sustained when a bomb exploded in the crowded Jhaveri Bazaar in Mumbai, said police inspector Rajabhau Madhe.
Nearly 70 people injured by the bombings were still in hospitals, said Madhe. Ten more were discharged from hospital yesterday. Over 130 people had been injured in the attack last Wednesday.
Mumbai's anti-terrorism squad is examining footage from closed circuit cameras at the bomb sites as police hunt for the perpetrators. No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings, and no suspects have been named.
Suspicion has fallen on the Indian Mujahideen, an Islamic militant group linked to Pakistan's Lashkar-e-Taiba that has claimed past attacks using similar explosives.
Police have fanned out to at least 10 cities to question Mujahideen activists, some of whom are in jail for their involvement in earlier attacks.
The blasts were the deadliest terrorist attack in Mumbai since 2008.
