New Delhi: At least 51 Indians were among the hundreds of Muslims who died in a stampede during the annual Haj pilgrimage to Mecca, official said on Sunday.

Of the Indian victims, 42 came through the Haj Committee and the others through private tour operators, an Indian official said by telephone from the Saudi city of Jeddah.

"Four seriously injured Indians remained in hospital, and a dozen Indians had been treated for minor injuries," he said.

India has one of the world's largest Muslim populations, at 138 million, according to 2001 census figures. Some 148,000 Indians have traveled to Mecca for this year's Haj.

Thursday's tragedy, which left 363 people dead, was the latest to hit the Haj despite efforts by Saudi authorities to avoid a repeat of disasters like one that killed 1,426 people in 1990.
