NEW DELHI, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Explosive devices were found and defused at Mumbai's main railway station on Wednesday, Indian television channels reported.

The station was one of the sites attacked last week by militants.

Police said a bomb squad was at the station but nothing had yet been found.

Maharashtra state chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh was due to visit the station on Wednesday evening, NDTV reported.

CNN/IBN said the device could have been planted on Nov 26, the day that the attacks on Mumbai started. (Reporting by Simon Denyer; Editing by Alistair Scrutton)
