The toll in the bomb explosion at a bus stop in Pakistan's Multan city has risen to 10, officials said on Monday.
At least 43 people were injured when the explosion rocked Multan late Sunday.
Azhar Akram, Central Police Officer (CPO), said the explosion happened at Vehari Chowk area of Multan, a district located in the country's Punjab province.
He said the police have recovered a suspected body from the blast site which has been sent for DNA test and thumb impression verification.
At least 11 of them are in critical condition, Xinhua news agency quoted the CPO as saying.
There are contradictory reports about the blast as the District Commissioner officer, Zahid Saleem Gondal, said the blast took place when a rickshaw hit into a motorbike coming from opposite direction and it seems that the motorbike rider was moving the explosive materials to somewhere but they accidently went off.
