They were the saviours of Mumbai's darkest days. Brave men and women who went beyond the call of duty at grave risk to their lives to save strangers when evil men unleashed murderous mayhem on the city. There were policemen and commandos, of course; men trained to rescue us from murderers. But there was also staff at the Taj and Oberoi-Trident hotels, firemen, railway announcers, doctors, nurses, private security personnel, and, of course, the nanny who displayed remarkable, exemplary courage.
Some more information about those who died on the attack:
Shri Hemant Karkare
Joint Commissioner of Police, A.T.S., Mumbai.
Mr Karkare, who was the 1982 batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer, held a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Vishveshvarayya Regional Engineering in Nagpur. He also served in the Naxalite-infested Chandarpur area of the state.
Karkare had served in RAW for nine years and was made the ATS chief in January this year. He had solved the serial bomb blasts in Thane, Vashi and Panvel. The credit for the stunning revelations in the investigation of the September 29 blast in Malegaon goes to his credit. Karkare is known for his discipline and fair investigation. During the Malegaon investigation, Karkare had told his officers not to create false evidence, saying, "We have done our job and it is for the court to decide."
Shri. Ashok Kamte (IPS)
Additional Commissioner of Police, East Region, Mumbai
Ashok Kamte's biceps are as awe inspiring as his baton. Kamte is a power-lifter and a body-builder to boot. Till now, he has broken three national records in power-lifting and won half-a-dozen gold and silver medals.
Ashok Kamte was the DCP, Zone 1, in Mumbai and was also the key officer in state police. He had also served as the commissioner of Solapur and was always known to be in the thick of action.
Shri. Vijay Salaskar
Police Inspector, Anti Extortion Cell, Mumbai.
An officer of the 1983 batch, Salaskar in his 24 years of service has eliminated many criminals. Amar Naik, Jaggu Shetty, Sadhu Shetty, Kundan Singh Rawat, Zahoor Makhanda are some of the gangsters who have fallen to Salaskar's bullets. According to sources, the police officer had once even gone hunting for former don Arun Gawli. "But Gawli fled from the scene, forcing Salaskar to return empty-handed. However, Salaskar got even by killing his two trusted men, Sada Pawle and Vijay Tandel, in 1997, triggering allegations that the encounters were fake. After this, Gawli was so scared that during the 2005 elections, he complained to the government that Salaskar was trying to kill him and requested that he be transferred.
