“Some residents claimed that the suspects were keeping track of the police’s movements through a television in Nariman House.

“When the news of top police officials getting killed flashed in the television, we heard loud noises from the flat. It seemed they were celebrating,” Anand Raorane, a resident in a building opposite Nariman House, said.”

(Hemant Karare, who had been investigating terrorist activities by Indian army officers and politicians, was killed.)

“A hijacked Indian fishing boat used by the gunmen had equipment for 15 men on board when it was discovered adrift...

“Fifteen winter jackets were found, fifteen toothbrushes,” a police source said. “That more terrorists are loose is possible.”

There are conflicting reports on the number of terrorists and possible hostages that were in Nariman House.

It would seem from many eyewitness reports and local media that as the standoff continued, there were only two ‘hostages’, the Rabbi and his wife, and the rest were terrorists.

"From the vantage point of three Black Cat snipers watching the building, I could see Nariman House’s shattered windows...

"The last person to leave, a young woman, told authorities that the only remaining hostages were the couple, who had made no sound or movement since the night before. By 5 p.m. they were presumed to be dead, and the Black Cat commandos moved in half an hour later, unleashing a volley of gunshots into the building. By 9:30 p.m. local time, the firing was still going on, and it was not clear whether the four to five suspects inside had been killed or captured."
