NEW DELHI, Nov 27 (Reuters) - The deputy chief minister of India's Maharashtra state said on Thursday that there could be between 100 and 200 guests and workers trapped in the Trident-Oberoi Hotel, with 10-12 militants also inside.

"There could be 100-200 people inside the hotel, but we cannot give you the exact figure as many people have locked themselves inside their rooms," R.R. Patil told reporters.

"There could be 10-12 terrorists inside the hotel. There are no negotiations with the terrorists." (Reporting by Bappa Majumdar; Editing by Alistair Scrutton and Sanjeev Miglani)
