The commando operation against the terrorists at Nariman House has ended and no more bodies have been found; however, official declaration has yet to be made.
NSG set off huge explosions to ensure no terrorist escaped. NSG combed the building to ensure no more terrorists were left inside.
NSG sources have told NDTV that the Nariman House operation will be declared over shortly.
However, five hostages and two terrorists were found dead inside the building. The rabbi and his wife are reportedly among the dead at Nariman House but it has yet to be officially corroborated.
Earlier, NSG commandos came out of the Nariman House amid cheering crowds. Thousands of people have gathered outside the building. The Rapid Action Force even used lathis to control the crowd.
According to the announcement at the Nariman House, the operation is not yet over. An NSG Major and a commando have been killed in the operation.
Earlier, seven hostages were taken out from the building.
Final assault at Taj
Latest reports says that there is heavy firing and explosions in Wasabi restaurant in the Taj. One terrorist is left and he is firing at NSG.
The level of battle now seems to indicate a last assault at the Taj. There is still confusion over the total number of militants inside the hotel, but there seem to be no hostages or guests inside with them. It may, thus, be a matter of time before the NSG storms the hotel.
The Army said that the NSG was in contact with one terrorist in the old wing of Taj and that the operation in Taj was also in final stages.
There was also report of one injured militant inside the Taj hotel.
According to NSG Director General: "One injured terrorist is still inside Taj hotel. The stage seems to be set for a final operation there and the media has been asked to refrain from doing any live broadcasts from outside the hotel."
There are reports of six terrorists holed up inside the Taj hotel. There are repeated gunfires and flashes of fire at the window of the room on the first floor. The battle is now fully raging.
NDTV is giving away fewer details to ensure that positions of the forces are not revealed.
Oberoi cleared
After a 39-hour ordeal, the NSG finally got success in flushing out the terrorists from the Oberoi Trident Hotel on Friday.
Describing the mission, NSG chief J K Dutt said, "Both Trident, Oberoi are under our control and both the terrorists present in these hotels have been killed."
Two AK-47 rifles, one pistol and few unexploded grenades have been seized, the NSG chief added.
According to the police, nine terrorists were killed and one was caught alive. The police said 24 dead bodies were found at Oberoi hotel on Friday, taking the total toll to 30.
At Trident, NSG commandos evacuated the people and they surrounded the Oberoi wing for the final push.
On early Friday morning, three explosions in three hours happened inside the Nariman House in Colaba, breaking the eerie silence.
The building was still in darkness when the Army closed in. Snipers took position at Nariman House. About 100 commandos went inside and helicopters circled above the building to monitor the situation.
At least 125 have been killed in the Mumbai encounter, including 14 policemen and six foreigners and 327 people have been injured.
Places attacked:
# Trident Hotel, Taj Hotel, Nariman House, Wadi Bunder, Cama hospital, GT hospital, VT station, Bootleggers pub, Girgaum and Metro cinema.
