A glimpse of Nariman House in Mumbai cost them their lives

Mumbai, Dec 1 (PTI) They were not among the hostages inside the Nariman House in Mumbai where the mindless terror game was on, but being around it even cost them dearly.

Terrorists holed up inside the Jewsih building opened
fire at those trying to have a glimpse from their rooftops and
balconies of what was happening inside the structure.

Salim Harawala (62) and Maria Harawala (55) fell to the
terrorists' gunshots in the process. Their 28-year-old son,
Mohammed Harawala, was lucky enough to survive the attack as
the bullet just passed above his head. He was admitted to St
George hospital with minor injuries.

Mohammed, on the fateful day, after attending a family
function was returning home along with his parents when a
blast at a petrol pump in Colaba occurred.

Fearing danger, they decided to go to their relative's
place at Shivam House adjacent to Nariman House.

The family heard some loud shots and they leaned out from
the balcony. Terrorists opened fire in the air and two bullets
hit Mohammed's parents, claiming their lives.

Tayeebi Gittsam, Mohammed's father-in-law, is in a state
of shock.

"It is high time something is done to eradicate
terrorism. How many more innocent persons are going to lose
their lives.

"These people (terrorists) just want to take revenge and
they don't think about the consequences and only have a motto
of killing as many people as possible," he said. PTI KKP
