The Wadia hospital in the centre of Malegaon town in Maharashtra, where most of the injured in the blasts were brought was a scene of grief and chaos with relatives and patients as well as media personnel thronging the place.
"I had just gone to read namaz (prayers) in the afternoon when I heard three blasts. There was a huge commotion, people were screaming. After that I do not remember anything except that I was injured and I was brought to the hospital," said seven-year-old Shahjad as he lay in his bed in Wadia hospital.
Although Malegaon has had a history of communal violence in the past, residents still seemed shell shocked at Friday's incidents that had till now claimed 37 lives and injured more than 100.
