New Delhi: It was a night without end for Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) MP N N Krishnadas who was having dinner at the Taj hotel in Mumbai when masked militants barged in.
The Lok Sabha MP from Kerala, who was rescued by commandoes on Thursday morning, lived to tell his tale of horror following Mumbai's worst terror attack.
‘Attackers were looking for British, Americans’
"I was having dinner with some of my colleagues when two masked militants barged into the restaurant. They fired indiscriminately, I saw three people being shot. The terrorists left the room soon after that," Krishnadas said over the phone from Mumbai.
Recalling the nightmare at the Taj Mahal Palace and Tower Hotel, one of Mumbai's most identifiable landmarks and one of the seven places attacked by terrorists Wednesday night, he said: "The hotel staff rushed us into another room after the terroists moved out of the restaurant."
