26/11 attack: Bombay HC no to SIT probe into Hemant Karkare’s Death

A division bench of Bombay high court consisting of Justices S C Dharmadhikari and Bharti Dangri, disposed of a plea seeking a probe into the death of former state ATS chief Hemant Karkare.

The petition was filed by Bihar’s former MLA Radhakant Yadav, demanding a special investigation team (SIT) to investigate the ATS chief’s killing during the 26/11 terror attack. The petition claimed that Karkare's death was a conspiracy hatched by Right Wing extremists.

The petition also stated that the former Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief was killed in retaliation after he arrested several members of the Right Wing group in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case. 

Yadav had approached the high court in August 2010 claiming that Karkare was not killed by Pakistani terrorists Ajmal Kasab and Abu Ismail.

Hemant Karkare, along with senior police officials Ashok Kamte and Vijay Salaskar, were killed outside Cama Hospital in South Mumbai after Kasab and his partner Ismail opened fire at their police van during the terror attack in Mumbai on November 26, 2008.
