Paris Attacks: An Indian couple on honeymoon in Paris recount the horror

Neha Nagpal and Aman Dua, who are in Paris for their honeymoon, are scared and clueless about what to do next.

Their phones rang insanely and their Facebook and Twitter accounts were flooded with queries and worries asking them if they were safe.

The couple, who got married on November 05 and headed to Europe for their honeymoon on November 13, are safe and fine but are quiet scared and very obviously shaken.

The couple are staying near the Bataclan Hall, where the deadliest attacks took place when gunmen wearing suicide belts and jackets stormed inside the concert hall, firing indiscriminately, killing at least 80 people.

“We are in a state of shock. We were strolling down the street to the hotel. The moment we entered our hotel, someone told us they heard blasts and that armed attacks had apparently taken place. We both are safe by god’s grace but we are petrified too. We couldn’t sleep all night and heard noises of police cars and ambulances. We are not even stepping out of the hotel,” said Neha.

Paris is one of the world's top most honeymoon destinations. A lot Indians and other nationals visit the country for its tourist attractions.

“Emergency has been declared and borders have been sealed. Although we have confidence in the Indian embassy here that if anything happens, they will save us, still there is tension. The firing happened nearby. Our families are scared back home,” said Aman.

The Indian embassy has floated an emergency number- 0033140507070- and anyone who is in distress can call here.

However, so far no Indian casualty has been reported.

“Our heart goes out to the people of Paris. We feel stuck. It is morning now and everyone is looking scared here. They are just quiet and praying for safety. We are planning to end our trip and come back,” they said.
