MUMBAI: Amid reports that one of the
terrorists worked as a chef in its hotel, Tata-owned Taj Group said there was no
indication that any of its employees was involved in the attack.
"We
are extending our full cooperation to the investigating authorities. We have had
no indications from them that any employee or contractual staff of the hotel
have been involved as part of this terrorist attack as is being reported by some
media outlets," The Indian Hotels Company Ltd CEO and Managing Director Raymond
Bickson said in a statement.
There have been reports that one of the
terrorists involved in the attack had worked as chef in the hotel for the last
10 months.
Bickson, along with Vice-Chairman of the company Krishna
Kumar, accompanied group Chairman Ratan Tata to the devastated heritage hotel,
immediately after the commandos gunned downed three terrorists, who were holed
up in the hotel since Wednesday.
