Jaipur - Police questioned four people on Wednesday in connection with a string of bombings that killed 80 people and left about 200 injured, officials said.

"We have picked them up for questioning in regards to the attacks last night but we have not booked them on any charge," a police spokesperson said in Jaipur, the site of the bombings late on Tuesday.

Among those being questioned was one of the injured and a city rickshaw puller, the spokesperson said, asking not to be named.

A federal team of explosives experts meanwhile arrived in this tourist city from New Delhi to help with investigations into the blast.

"If necessary we will make available more bomb disposal teams to the state authorities here," India's junior home minister Shriprakash Jaiswal told reporters.

Seven bombs went off within minutes of each other in crowded markets in what police said was a terror attack on the city which lies 260km west of New Delhi.

One unexploded bomb was found attached to a bicycle at one of the explosion sites. It was defused and handed over to the explosives experts.
