Mumbai: The NSG Commandos and the army personnel were closing in on the Nariman House, even as three fresh explosions were heard early this morning from inside the building in Colaba in South Mumbai.

The three explosions, perhaps caused by the grenade blasts, were heard at around 2:30 a.m. From inside the Nariman House. However, the commando force was fully in control of the situation. The night was by and large peaceful. The entire operation has been slowed down as the commandos are taking precaution for the safety of the holed-up people in the building. There are still some people believed to be holed-up in the Nariman House.

"The operation to clean up the Nariman House was still going on," Director General of National Security Guard (NSG) J K Dutt said, adding the operations would end soon. Dutt said the operations at Hotel Taj was by and large over with just one injured terrorist still holed-up in the building. "He has been injured and I think we will be able to mop up the operation there very quickly," he said.

He said the injured terrorist has not yet been captured but "we will be able to do so soon". Dutt said two terrorists are holed up in the 8th floor of the Oberoi hotel while in the Trident section the combing operation has been completed.

"As far as Trident is concerned, we have been able to completely clean up and we do not have any report of any terrorist being holed up over there. "As far as Oberoi is concerned, yes, we have engaged two terrorists on the 8th floor," he said.
