The coordinated shootings and bombings took place in iconic locations across the city. That includes Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Oberoi Trident and Taj Palace and Tower, among others. 10 members of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a militant Islamist organisation from Pakistan, carried out 12 coordinated shooting and bombing attacks lasting four days across Mumbai.

Eight of the attacks occurred in South Mumbai, at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, the Oberoi Trident, the Taj Palace & Tower. The Leopold Cafe, the Cama Hospital, the Nariman House, the Metro Cinema. And in a lane behind the Times of India building and St. Xavier’s College.

On 29 November, India’s National Security Guards (NSG) conducted Operation Black Tornado to flush out the remaining attackers. it ended with the death of the last remaining attackers at the Taj Hotel and ended the attacks. In May 2010, Qasab was handed the death penalty, and two years later, hanged in a maximum security prison in Pune city.

Heartfelt tributes have poured in on social media from all sections for the valiant policemen who sacrificed their lives for their country. Tributes are being poured for those innocent souls that we lost in the devastating attacks.
