Mumbai was rocked by several incidents of firing at four different public places on Wednesday night. All incidents were within a radius of three kms in the posh South Mumbai.

At the time of the filing this report, 15 people were injured but no deaths were reported.

The first incident of firing was reported at Leopold Cafe, a well-known watering hole for tourists and foreigners in Colaba.

The second incident was near Taj Mahal [Images] hotel, the third was near Oberoi hotel in Nariman Point and the fourth one was at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station.

No one including the police will confirm the reason behind the firing except the fact that some unknown people started firing indiscriminately.

Eyewitness also said that some grenades were thrown at a police van and also of two bomb blasts near the Oberoi hotel but it was not confirmed by officials.

The Mumbai police have cordoned off all the areas.

A blast was also reported in Vile Parle in suburban Mumbai

Additional Commissioner of Police Deven Bharti confirmed the shootout at Colaba but did not give out details.
Two persons armed with automatic weapons and hand grenades are reportedly holed up inside CST station.

Sounds of gunshots are still being heard. Hundreds of onlookers gathered outside the station. The station and premises have been evacuated

Sources in the Cuffe Parade police station said that the police was still looking for the miscreants behind the firing at Colaba Causeway.

Eyewitnesses said that they heard at least 20 shots in CST station. Policemen and ambulances have rushed to the affected areas, they said.
A resident of Colaba and an eyewitness to some of the incidents said, "The police got news that there were explosions at the BMC headquarters in Lion Gate in South Mumbai. When the police arrived, the gangsters/terrorists fired at the police. As the police started chasing them towards the CST station, they opened indiscriminate fire."

There were reports of explosions from the BMC headquarter, Oberoi Hotel and Colaba Market.

VERY SAD !!!!

GOV should come up with more severe laws and punishment system and upgrade the security systems....

My sister works in Oberoi hotel where the firing still continues. Thankfully she and the rest of the staff is safe although they aren't home yet.

I live in Vile-Parle and the blast happened around 1 km away from where we live. Honestly it was the worst sound I have ever heard. The explosion rocked our place and the windows rattled. The taxi in which the bomb was placed was blown to smithereens.

Hats-off to Vinu who took the pics. He was out there risking his life when we were at home stuck to our TV. Also thanks to Shamir Ranjan who gave Vinu 3 months Pro Flickr account to upload these pics.

This was definitely the worst terror attack in the entire country in recent times. Terrorists straight away enter 5-Star hotels like Oberoi and Taj with AK-47 and fire away at innocent people. The target was actually all the foreigners staying at these hotels but they weren't sparing the Indians as well. Then the serial blasts at several places. Some terrorists escaped in vehicles at fire out through the windows of the moving vehicles at people (some even used a Police van to escape). Terrorists hiding in these hotels throwing grenades to keep the police away. Age old hotels like Taj and Oberoi which are the crown jewels of Mumbai go up in smoke. More than 80 people die. Around 250 injured. Three top ranking Cops are dead. And it's still not over.

Dude, it's not Counter Strike. It's east to sit at home and blame everyone. If you think it is so easy then go out there and help them.

[RaghuKL]

Commandos have entered both hotels. 100 dead and 287 injured. including 6 foreigners
IB has picked up LeT terrorist. Encounter still on.

These F#$#%ing terrorists are bolder by the day. . When will these idiotic politicians start acting against these terrorists without seeing any religion.

Dude, I am not saying it is easy. All top cops got killed!? These ATS guys should be competent enough to handle these kind of situations. By the way, I don't play stupid computer games.
