What is the truth behind the Mumbai attacks? Ever wondered why the FBI was needed to bring out the truth? What do the investigating agencies have to hide?
On November 17 Kavita Karkare, the wife of former Maharashtra Anti Terror Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare who was slain in the 26/11 attacks, questioned the state government on why her husband and two other senior officials who were killed on 26/11, did not get reinforcements on time.
The slain officer's family has alleged that the officers did not get the back up when it was required. The investigative agencies have all along claimed that Karkare, along with Additional Commissioner of Police (ACP) Ashok Kamte and Inspector Vijay Salaskar were killed by terrorists near Cama Hospital in Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus during the Mumbai siege.
Kavita's quotes from the press conference:
"I just didn't know anything in the initial six months, politicians, media people and other people were coming to my place, but I was not aware what exactly was going around. Nobody has ever told me that what exactly happened that day. No senior officers have told me till date what had happened with my husband. I have just gathered information from media people, or read in magazines and newspapers, till date I don't know the exact facts of that day."
"But when politicians started raising questions saying that he acted in very hasty manner and went for the operation blindly then we started gathering facts about the incident. Then, we came to know that Kamte, Karkare, Salaskar were planning strategy in Cama hospital for 40 minutes. They had asked for help, but they couldn't get help in those 40 minutes. Why they could not get help in 40 minutes, nobody is giving me that answer?"
Kavita also alleged that she has been told by some police officers that it would not be possible for her to get to know what exactly happened with her husband during the terror attacks. She also alleged that Hemant Karkare was left injured and unattended for over 40 minutes and not taken to the hospital on time.
"My question is that when these people were there in Cama Lane for 40 minutes, why were they not given any help? And, when there bodies were lying, why the bodies of those people were not picked for about 40 minutes," Kavita questioned. Earlier last week, Kavita also alleged that her husband's bulletproof jacket has gone missing.
She claimed that even the Right to Information application had not yielded any information on its whereabouts when his body was found, the bulletproof jacket was missing.
