Claim
During the so-called 2004-2007 peace era, the 2006 Mumbai serial train bombings took place in which 200 Indians were killed.
“2006 में मुंबई में एक आतंकी हमला हुआ था जिसमें 200 भारतीय मारे गए थे, ट्रेनों में सिलसिलेवार विस्फोट हुए थे और 2004 और 2007 के बीच शांति का तथाकथित युग चला था।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
The 11 July 2006 Mumbai serial train bombings are well documented: seven coordinated blasts on suburban trains killed between 189 (figure used in court records) and 209 (final official toll); the Maharashtra Deputy CM's confirmed figure was exactly 200 killed. The anchor's '200 killed' falls squarely within the officially reported range. The attack also occurred during the 2004-2007 India-Pakistan composite dialogue/peace process period the anchor references, so the framing is factually consistent. The only minor imprecision is that casualty counts vary between 189 and 209 across sources, and a small number of victims may not have been Indian nationals.
