Third version of the storyBy: Indian | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:37:31 PM Reply | Forward This is the third version of the story of Mr. Hemant Karkare. The first version said, he was in the front line on CST with a helmet and a flimsy bullet proof jacket. The terrorists fired from the hijacked vehicle at him and the bulletproof jacket proved useless. The second version says, he was shot at Taj/Trident. And now this version. Only God knows how he was killed. But one thing is for sure, BJP/RSS have been delivered by these terrorists out of a very difficult sutuation very beautifully. It's strange that whenever BJP is in difficulty the terrorists come to thier rescue.
Third version of the story?By: Mahishasumardini | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:28:23 PM Reply | Forward Obviously you are less than Indian to write this kind of utter nonsense. Are you insinuating that BJP instigated and organised this terrorist attack?I sugget you get a psychiatrist help, please. The truth of the matter is that these brave officers were in a tearing hurry to go the help of their colleague, Sadanand Datey,
WONDERBy: AM | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:23:56 PM Reply | Forward UNTIL NOW I ALWAYS DISBELIEVED BJP/RSS BUT THE WAY SUCH SENIOR OFFICER BEHAVE EVEN IN TIME OF EMERGENCY MAKES ME WONDER WHAT TYPE OF INVESTIGATION THEY WERE CARRYING OUT.
COMPANION VERSIONBy: AM | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:15:32 PM Reply | Forward I THINK THIS IS THE CORRECT VERSION AS GIVEN BY EYE WITNESS AND VERY SOON IT SHALL BE LOST.AS REGARDS ATS IT SHOWED HOW IT FACED THE REAL TERRORIST
Very New and Strange ActBy: Haider Ali | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:35:16 PM Reply | Forward We all Pakistani’s are deeply shocked that who those people are? I asked hundreds of people around me in my city Islamabad who don’t even support the Pakistani Military operations in tribal areas of Pakistan, who talk about Kashmiri peoples rights, who are not at all a supporter of Indians just because of Kashmir Issue, they are shocked with these civilian barbaric killings in Mumbai, Islamist will never kill a women write it down even Bhutto’s death is controversy here still, Blasts are the way they protest but shooting and killing innocent civilians is some thing new. I think one can’t find a single supporter in Pakistan for these innocent civilians’ killings. It’s the time Indian should see elements within their country too blaming Pakistan will take them on the same path they are from years
Heroes or Stupid FoolsBy: Nilesh | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:23:57 PM Reply | Forward Indeed ! I agree with you Vinaya. All three officers were utterly reactive and irresponsible to go in one vehicle. They died doing nothing? They did not die fighting and were just traveling to see another officer. How stupid.
What foolish Officers?By: Rajesh | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:22:11 PM Reply | Forward One can't believe states top officials gone in a minute, all together. They seem to have overconfidence on something and don't seem to have good procedure to follow during such emergency process. Travelled together; Could not react on time, No bulletproof car(maybe driving window down) Typical Indians-showing overconfidence and getting beaten in few seconds.
AGREE with YouBy: Indian | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:15:07 PM Reply | Forward There is no need to see Karkare as Saheed, he dies of his own intelligence failure
FoolsBy: Vinaya | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 13:32:17 PM Reply | Forward The foolishness of these high ranking officers does not really inspire confidence in the common people who they are supposed to protect. All of them going in one vehicle.This also puts to rest the theory that these officers lost their lives fighting the terrorists. They just happened to be on the path of the terrorists just like hundreds of others who lost their lives in this terrorist incident. And by dying so easily they showed their sheer incompetence. Words like "encounter specialist" etc for them appear inappropriate. Sorry hard words for these departed souls but cannot help it. Sometimes you have to call spade a spade.
foolish police officersBy: kumar shantanu | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 16:24:47 PM Reply | Forward older officers were finished by young men with quick reflexes. also indicates they knew 3 officers were inside the vehicle after seeing them at CST operations. This was no chance encounter in which encounter specialist was encountered.
reply VinayaBy: some one | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:09:15 PM Reply | Forward I really dont know what u think these three were really brave men . One of them have served agencies like RAW for 9 years in Europen (Karkare )location and other have faced deat for more then 100 times (Salaskar ) . this is more then your life . have some respect for them and if dont have ask some one to give a feel of Gun Catch it once in your had and you will come to know what kind of file police men in Maharashtra have . and if cant do that just try to face deat once . all of these three men were living life on Edge for you and me so that we can sleep wel in our house ! I dont agree with you and travelling in same Car you wrote. they were on the way to visit some one who was injured . hope you never same in your life . we have people in our family who have same kind of rutine of office so we know better
Reply to some one and othersBy: Vinaya | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 17:00:34 PM Reply | Forward The bravery, the comepetence, the experience in RAW and operating as the chief of the Anti Terrorist Squad was thoroughly exposed at least for Mr Karkare. Imagine the cream of ATS rushing to the hospital to see a colleague when half the city is on fire. Satyamev Jayate has put it more aptly below. Calling these people martyrs is wrong as it would put them along side the real martyrs such as Unnikrishnan. Finally a word for Mr Sushant. I think the real morons are people like you would cannot see the difference between black and white and still write your one liners without providing an evidence.
FoolsBy: Shabu | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:59:46 PM Reply | Forward How stupid of you to comment that way. The title suit you best. Think of them as brave officers. We have seen one in TV with the helmet and bullet proof in leading in action with his colleagues. still you say this..shame on you
AgreeBy: Rajsri | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:55:35 PM Reply | Forward I was also thinking of the same. It is being portrayed as if they lost their life fighting the terrorists where as the stories we hear proves other wise. It was unlucky that they where all in one vehicle and where in the path of the terrorists and the terrorist had attacked them for taking the vehicle. Quite sure they did not even know that they where high profile officers and salso ill equipped. What ever may be the case we have lost more indian lives to terrorism.
shut up VinayaBy: sushant Naik | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:31:24 PM Reply | Forward shut up you moron...its easy to sit in-front of ur monitor and talk crap...no need to comment if you cant show any respect to these dead officers.
lack of common sense can kill peopleBy: sarma | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:40:46 PM Reply | Forward dont live in fools paradise naik.come to terms , analyse why our heroes died. you dont have sense to analyse so your are emmotional and live in your conclusion . why they died, yes there should have been a deciplined aproach rather than impulsive aproach
How professional were the terroristsBy: Ram krishan | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:31:32 PM Reply | Forward They were not foolish but Terrorists were looks like more professional then our top officers.But it is just a big security breach.May be our security agencies were over confidence thats why we have send our navy for pirate catching rather then saving our own borders
you are right Mr.Sushant.By: rm.pillappan | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:16:44 PM Reply | Forward yes mr. sushant.you have said what i want to say.
Death which could have been avertedBy: venkat | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 12:45:15 PM Reply | Forward It appears that our administration were clueless as to how equipped were the terrorists.Had they had some intelligence information the ATS chief and other police officers would have avoided such an open attack and thereby we could have saved the police officials lives which was wasted without them even fighting with the terrorists
They were not wasted, they were waste anywayBy: Satyamev Jayate | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:05:03 PM Reply | Forward Clueless is a mild word. They were political puppets for Seclallular forces. They were deluded about their own bravery after regularly being in front of TV for so called bravery in exposing non existing Hindu terrorists. They were probably only a bit less despicable than the so called secular political parties of India, who are nothing less than gangs of self seeking evil criminals. How we wish that a few of these evil gangmembers in Parliament were in the way of these terrorists as well, it would improve India overnight if such garbage can be disposed.
pakis backtrackBy: Franklin | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 12:27:31 PM Reply | Forward We now see the pakis backtracking, itself shows their involvement. Do a narco on its chief and u get what u need of course all the roots of terrorism. Had the US bombed pakistan along with afghanistan after 9/11, the world as such would have been a much better place for all the humans.
Attack ThemBy: M. Y. Imran | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 13:27:02 PM Reply | Forward Dear Frank,I agree with you and being a Muslim I wish the authority must react in the same manner as the entire country was extremely disturbed and we lost several high-profile police officers and Hemant Karkare. The Govt. must react with full firepower and force and find the root where these so-called terrorist took birth and eliminate them without any delay.
It is easy to say then do any thingBy: Ram krishan | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:21:55 PM Reply | Forward You are just child.Pakistan is a nuclear power [which also happens because of our foolish blasts in May 98].We have to end the blame game and find real terrorists.I don't know why our navy were catching pirates while our cities are exposed.IS this is why i pay my taxes.
