Soumir Baroi trapped inside one of the bathrooms at Holey Artisan Bakery, which is witnessing a hostage situation, managed to establish contact with his brother Gopal via texts. 

As gunmen held hostage dozens of people inside the popular hangout for foreigners in the capital's diplomatic zone of Gulshan, Gopal tried to reach his elder brother Soumir, who works at the restaurant, over phone. 

In reply to Gopal's text, Soumir wrote, "Me and nephew are fine. Locked in the bathroom."

Soumir texted again What is the situation outside? To which Gopal replied RAB is overlooking everything. They are doing all they can do, so that you all are not harmed.
