As the explosion occurred, a cloud of smoke enveloped the area and reduced to zero visibility for a few seconds. However, Chouhan could see faintly bodies flung outside the bogie in which the explosion occurred.
All blasts were high-intensity explosions and initial reports said wired timing devices were used in all the cases.
All telephone lines including mobiles were jammed immediately after the news of the blasts was received. Volunteers from the public instantly began relief and rescue operations. The people from the nearby areas rushed to the site and helped move the injured to the nearby hospitals.
Limbs were strewn and blood was splattered all over the compartments where the blasts took place while all the coaches suffered excessive damage, most of them being ripped off.
