    "I have been working with Salaskar my entire police career but I could not do anything to save his life," he said with tears rolling down his eyes.

    While Salaskar was at the wheel, Kamte was in the front seat and Karkare in the second row with the four Constables, including Jadhav, at the back seat.

    "The two terrorists then came up to our vehicle and pulled out Karkare, Kamte and Salaskar's bodies out and threw them on the road. Thinking that we (Constables) are also dead, the terrorists then got into the car and started driving towards Metro junction," Jadhav said.

    They fired three rounds at journalists and police vans standing at Metro junction and then sped away towards Vidhan Bhawan in south Mumbai, where again they fired some rounds.

    "The terrorists then started driving from Vidhan Bhawan when the car's tyre burst. They then got off the car and ran towards another vehicle," he said.

    Jadhav then got in touch with the police control and informed them about the death of Karkare, Kamte, Salaskar and the three Constables.

    "Additional Commissioner of Police (ATS) Parambir Singh and other police officers then rushed to the spot and took the bodies to St George hospital," Jadhav said.

    opinionBy: Indian | 06-Jan-2009 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 | 17-Dec-2008 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 | 06-Dec-2008 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 | 02-Dec-2008 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 | 22-Dec-2008 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 | 01-Dec-2008 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.
