One of those two men -- identified by Mumbai police as Ajmal Amir Kasav -- is now in police custody. The other was killed. The two men are also believed to have planted an 18-pound bomb inside the station, which was discovered and defused by the Mumbai Police Bomb Squad.
Bhosale remembered seeing Kasav, 21, the night of Nov. 26 at the station. "Actually, he was just 50 to 70 steps from me, I saw he was having one AK-47 rifle in one hand and I understand that they are very trained, they were trained very well."
Moreover, he said, "they were smiling actually, they are very cool that time when they are firing on people ... on innocent people, ladies and children."
Kasav and his fellow attacker were not just well-trained, according to Gaffoor. They also outclassed Mumbai's police in terms of weaponry.
"Each of these attackers had an AK assault rifle, a pistol, several hand grenades and some bullets, each AK had six loaded magazines that comes to 300 rounds and they had spare magazines for each pistol," Gaffoor said.
In contrast, Bhosale had "a pistol," some bullets and a hefty dose of courage.
"I fired around 22 rounds on them," he said. "Actually, my job is to save those people and whatever they [the attackers] have, they [should] target on me."
Still, he acknowledged the vast gap in the weapons available to him and those used by Kasav. "They are firing with AK-47 and I have a pistol. The range is different, the capacity is different, we need weapons."
The call for better weapons was echoed by Constable Ajitkumar Nalawade, who was also present at the railway station that night.
"I heard firing near one of the railway toilets," Nalawade told ABC News.
As the terrorists threw a grenade and ran from Platform 14 toward Platform 8, he pursued them, armed only with a 9-mm pistol.
"I was firing at them continuously, I fired some 14 rounds but then one of my bullets got stuck," he said.
"We need automatic weapons," he said. "These guys were firing endlessly at whoever was in front of them and people were just falling."
