Terroristene som tok gjester og personalet som gisler på Oberoi Hotel, spurte hver enkelt om religiøs tilhørighet. Et tyrkisk par som fortalte de var muslimer fikk til svar at de ikke ville bli skadet. Tre andre i samme rom, ble skutt.

To tyrkiske par var gjester på Oberoi. Det ene paret lyktes å flykte. Det andre valgte feil rute og endte opp som fanger på et rom.

The Muezzinoglus, however, found themselves in a hostage situation, along with a group of foreigners. That night, they shared a room with three foreigners – all women. Two machine-gun-wielding terrorists stood guard over them the whole night.

All the hostages were asked to reveal their religion. When the Muezzinoglus said they were Muslims, their captors told them that they would not be harmed. The other three Caucasian women were removed from the room next day, and the terrorists informed the Muezzinoglus that they had been shot.
