opinionBy: Indian | Tuesday , 6 Jan '09 12:12:03 PM Reply | Forward It was very natural to react in a way our officers reacted. Why make hue and cry on their travelling together. By any known record of terrorist attack, terrorists were known to hide in a place not moving freely around the city on road. It was beyond anyone's imagination that terrorists will be on road wide exposed to any reaction from our security force. They were at CST and when they could not find place to hide in CST, they left the place . It was a shear coincidence that they met with our officers on their way to next destination and since our officers were not ready for such behavior from terrorists and were not equipped with weapons to face head on with terrorist equpped with AK 47 or so, met with a unfortunate end. If you think rationally, the whole episode was very natural in iself wherein we lost very efficient officers of our country. We are proud of them but equally sad that even encounter speciallists are not provided with sophisticated weapons to protect them

Talking about mysteryBy: agd | Wednesday , 17 Dec '08 20:59:16 PM Reply | Forward was watching video footage on youtube just after Mr Karkare was killed, in that footage it was apparent that the terrorists were in a police van and not hiding behind some trees or bushes like most news sites were broadcasting. The van was supposed to have been taken after killing the top cops . Mr Karkare was a smart man and to reach the level he was at you either have to be corrupt or have to be really smart. I don't think he was corrupt. Now the question of landing at the place in the situation he was in and with the police van taken over by the terrorists before the attack on the top cops does not add up, inside betrayal.(Search for Terrorist fired from a police van in youtube)

ABC MurdersBy: act | Saturday , 6 Dec '08 15:35:56 PM Reply | Forward ABC MurdersThis one has all the aspects of Agatha Cristie's "The ABC Murders" written all over it. The C murder (Karkare and colleagues) was the objective, while the rest were distractions to confuse everyone on the real motive.

Karkare's Murder was PlannedBy: Mirza | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 0:21:32 AM Reply | Forward I Believe Karkare's death was planned. He was called at the Taj so he could be killed. The BJP is the direct beneficiary from this terror attack. They would gain power and get rid of True Indian policemen. Karkare was one honest and true Indian Policeman. The Jews were also highlited in this whole issue out of nowhere. They want to gain sympathy once again. The jews are now teaching some dirty politics to the already dirty BJP. The jews like to use india as they used america and live on india as a parasite. Please wake up people.

Sick mindsetBy: Sam | Monday , 22 Dec '08 15:03:05 PM Reply | Forward Such a sick mindset can exist only with these kinds of people.They are completely innocent, and all the blame is with Hindus or Jews

Murder of officers a conspiracy...By: Sufiyan | Monday , 1 Dec '08 18:55:56 PM Reply | Forward It was a very sad moment for our country when it lost 3 of its honest officers in the dastardly Mumbai attack. ATS chief Hemant Karkare was a dedicated officer and he had also proved that the ATS in Mumbai is not biased and it is not controlled by some politicians or vested interests. The investigations in the Malegaon blasts were evident enough that some anti social elements wanted to carry out blasts in parts of the country by blaming the muslim community. If Hemant Karkare would have survived, then a lot of new evidences would sprut out at this time, but it is sad to say that honest people are always surrounded by enemies. The assisination of these police officers was a well planned conspiracy and i fear to say that this mystery will vanish forever if it comes under the hands of corrupted and communal police officers. At this point of time all the people of Maharashtra irrespective of their caste creed and religion must unite together and may God bless all those departed souls.

We Must ActBy: PeaceMaker | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 23:55:54 PM Reply | Forward Salute to these People....We must learn from what has happened in Mumbai.....how shocking is it that only 12 people has bought the mighty empire on it knees...its the time when we have to act...at any cost...

Witnees account of Karkare's death.By: Anwar A.M | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 22:48:13 PM Reply | Forward Sir,We need to protect Arun Jadhav being the only eye witness to the grusome kiiling of our Hero Karkare as this incident has to be thoroughly investigated. I am afraid the forces who killed Karkare might also kill Arun Jadhav. May God Almighty Bless the widow and family of Karkare and other martyres.

The dirty Politics Game!By: MM | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 22:26:41 PM Reply | Forward Karkare's Death was well planned in the shadow of terrorism. The incident took place when the whole country was behind the Malegaon blast and this was the very suitable

Witness account of Karkare, Kamte and Salaskar’s deathBy: Suresh Rao | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 22:18:41 PM Reply | Forward Absolutly horrifying as to how the 3 top cops were togetherin one place while going for an operation. The first rule is NEVER travel together lest anything happened .This is riutinely followed everywhere and yet our top cops ignored it at their own peril God !!! we are truly such an unlucky country to loose all the top three.

Please understandBy: Venkat | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 20:36:06 PM Reply | Forward The circumstances leading to the death of the three top Police officers in India( please read India) in a split second should make us think --what made all the three officers go in a single van..what was the message given to them...was there a talk of terrorist attack already and not just the injury of a PC? We have to look at the entire episode of the attacks on Mumbai and not just the attack on the police officers to understand better the conspiracy...there is no doubt about the quality and commitment of our police officers...THEY ARE HEROS...there is something more that has happened and we have to look for that...is the attack a distraction? It's easy to point fingers(with all that has happened in the past) at our neighboring countries for a good reason...but our suspicion should not start and end with Pakistan..we have to look at incidents like this in a more inclusive manner...regional politics, global politics etc..in all this we have to salute our Top Cops for doing a great job

Personal Political VendettaBy: Bindiya Shetty | Monday , 1 Dec '08 22:19:34 PM Reply | Forward People with personal agendas and vendettas can't bear to see Honest, Police Officers who cannot be politically influenced. It would only be fitting to Sentence all arrested in Malegaon blasts and their aids to solitary imprisonment for the death of these officers. Also, we need to find out who issued the orders for these men to travel together. PERSONAL VENDETTA.
