Five general managers (GMs) and two directors of the bank, were in Mumbai to attend the audit committee meeting scheduled for November 27 at the hotel.
"We checked in at 9.30 p.M at Trident hotel on Wednesday and were provided with rooms on different floors," Andhra Bank's GM (Inspection and Audit) S Prabhakar Reddy, who survived the terror attacks, said here today.
"Three of our GMs went out for dinner while myself and GM Suryanarayana and directors V S Ramakrishnan and Madhusudan Prasad stayed back at Trident, just before the terror struck the region," Reddy told PTI.
"I heard two explosions and gun shots late on Wednesday night outside our hotel, but didn't take the matter seriously. But, soon I got a call from my colleague saying the financial capital was under attack from terrorists and they were also firing inside our hotel," Reddy said.
"I locked myself inside the room on the 24th floor and switched on the television to know the developments. I did not sleep the whole night. On Thursday early morning, I was told rescue operations had begun to evacuate us," Reddy added.
"We were in touch with our colleagues through land phones and I also called up my family members during these tense moments," he said.
