In March 2006, two blasts rocked the holy city of Varanasi. The first explosion occurred in the Hanuman temple.
Tuesday, being the day of Lord Hanuman worship, the temple was crammed with many devotees.
The second blast occurred at Varanasi Cantonment Railway Station.
The blast took the lives of 28 people and 101 were injured.
The LeT operative behind the blast was shot dead by the police near Lucknow the next day.
Reports revealed that the bombs were made in Bihar and the material to make bombs was taken from Nepal which was then smuggled across the Indo-Nepal border.
