A woman in her 20s has died and 10 other people have been injured in two bomb blasts on a passenger train in India.
The blasts ripped through two coaches of the train minutes after it pulled into Chennai railway station.
The Guwahati express, which starts in the northeastern state of Assam and travels to the city of Bengaluru, had already travelled 1,700 miles.
The injured were rushed to hospital, with two said to be in a critical condition.
A senior railway official said: "The blasts took place at 7.15 in the morning - 10 minutes after the train had come on to platform no 9."
A suspicious bag was found abandoned on the train as police and bomb squads checked the trains for more explosive devices.
The train was allowed to continue on its way after bomb squad inspections Local media reports that Tamil Nadu police have taken a man into custody for questioning - he was found hiding inside the train after the blasts.
A senior official said the train was running late and if it had been on time and still on the track when the blasts occurred, the damage could have been far greater.
As an investigation into the blasts continues, the train has been allowed to continue to its final destination.
The explosions come amid heightened security nationwide for India's general election, which is held in phases over several weeks.
Security alerts have been issued in Tamil Nadu and the adjoining state of Andhra Pradesh.
Earlier this week state police arrested Sri Lankan national Mohammed Zakir Hussain who is allegedly part of plot to target vital installations in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
