An hour has elapsed since Imran and Nasir had entered the building. Ram Bhuwal Yadav, the petrol pump manager had heard the gunshots and the deafening blast. He asked his team to immediately disband and go home. Since he couldn't leave the pump, he locked himself up in the main office. Then as he says, "I drew the blinds, and hid behind the solid steel desk. I just had a feeling that the worst was yet to come. And I wasn't wrong. At around 10.45 pm, roughly half an hour after I took cover there was a massive explosion. Such was the force that I was thrown on to my back. Fearing a fire, I immediately ran out. Several people were running helter-skelter on the main street of Colaba outside Collabawallah House. It was a miracle that no one was hurt."
