<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Mumbai (PTI): ATS chief Hemant Karkare, two senior police officers and 78 others were killed when terrorists struck with impunity in Mumbai on Wednesday in coordinated multiple blasts and gunfire in a dozen areas including at iconic landmarks CST railway station and two five star hotels--Oberoi and Taj.
Karkare(54), who is probing the Malegaon blasts case, <b>was gunned down when he was leading an operation</b> at Hotel Taj against terrorists who had taken 15 people, including seven foreigners, as hostages. <b>He was hit by three bullets in his chest. </b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This is either too naive, or too boneheaded. Aren't ATS teams across the states taught to wear bulletproof jackets when leading such counter operations? Same for two leading encounter specialists of Mumbai Police who are martyred. Same for the Delhi Police Inspector M C Sharma during Batala. Why do they not wear jackets??? Or is it the case of what yudhiShThira told the yakSha - that none thinks death was meant for oneself too!
