Ahmedabad-Mumbai (PTI): The toll in the Ahmedabad serial blasts on Sunday rose to 45 even as police defused a live bomb in the communally-sensitive city where army conducted flag marches.

In Navi Mumbai, Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) raided an apartment in the Palm Beach Road area of Sanapada and seized a computer in connection with the e-mail sent to television channels purportedly by a little-known 'Indian Mujahideen' threatening more blasts across the country.

"The toll in the blasts that hit Ahmedabad on Saturday has gone upto 45 with seven people dying overnight. The number of injured is 145," Gujarat's Health Minister Jainarayan Vyas said after a meeting of the state cabinet presided by Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

The live bomb found in a garbage can in Ahmedabad's Amraiwadi area on Sunday morning was defused by the bomb disposal squad, a city police officer said.

"The bomb squad was called in as soon as we got the information of a live bomb in the area. The squad has successfully defused the bomb," police inspector P R Gehalot told PTI.

As a precautionary measure, Army "has been called out and its personnel are conducting flag marches in sensitive areas of the city", Additional Commissioner of Police Mohan Jha said. At present the situation is under control, he said.
