Mumbai serial blast case convict Mustafa Dossa was admitted to the JJ Hospital in Mumbai after he complained of chest pain.

Dossa complained of chest pain and had uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes and infection, he said.

"Dossa has been admitted to the jail ward of the Hospital at 3 am," Hospital Dean TP Lahane told reporters.

Yesterday, the CBI had sought capital punishment for Dossa, arguing that his role in the blasts was "more severe" than that of hanged convict Yakub Menon, who was hanged few yers ago.

The CBI also said that Dossa was one of the "brains" behind the conspiracy and that his degree of responsibility towards the commission of the crime was the highest.

As many as 257 people are killed in the co-ordinated blasts that ripped through the city on March 12, 1993.

The trial of the seven accused Abu Salem, Mustafa Dossa, Karimullah Khan, Firoz Abdul, Rashid Khan, Riyaz Siddhiqui, Tahir Merchant and Abdul Quayyum from the main case as they were arrested at the time of conclusion of the main trial.
