At least four people are reported to have been killed and 15 are injured as unidentified groups of gunmen opened fire in at least four places across south Mumbai on Wednesday night.
Mumbai police confirm it is a terrorist attack. The five-star Hotel Oberoi is under siege and gunmen are reported to have held the occupants hostage.
Reports say 10 gunmen are holed up inside Hotel Oberoi.
Details are sketchy but it is believed that groups fired outside the CST Railway Terminus, Hotel Oberoi, the popular Café Leopold restaurant and Cama Hospital all in south Mumbai.
Hotels under siege
The first incident took place at between 2215 hrs IST and 2230 hrs IST when bullets, apparently from automatic weapons, were fired at police and paramilitary forces outside the Taj Hotel in south Mumbai.
The first shooting took place near the CST police station in which six people were injured.
Police have cordoned off the CST Railway Terminus, a crowded place at this time of the evening, and have stopped entry.
Press Trust of India reports two persons armed with automatic weapons and hand grenades are holed up inside the CST station.
Mumbai’s police commissioner confirmed there had been shootouts in several places in the city.
At CST
Unidentified persons also opened random firing near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, headquarters of the Central Railway, which is a world heritage building and remains crowded almost throughout the day.
A police official said he saw two people, armed with automatic weapons, at CST.
"They opened indiscriminate fire and fled inside. They are reported to be holed up between platform seven and eight," he said.
