Vinita Kamte, the wife of late 26/11 mayhem martyr Ashok Kamte has written a book alleging the police force ignored crucial information during the terrorist attacks. She said "My book is based on the facts given by the Mumbai police using the RTI Act,"
Vinita claims to have exposed Maria’s ‘feigned ignorance’ about the events unfolding in the Rang Bhawan lane. Kamte, Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare and Senior Inspector Vijay Salaskar, were killed there.

She alleges commissioner Hasan Gafoor told Kamte to rush to Trident Hotel. Later, the control room directed him to Cama Hospital. Maria’s response to her on this was ‘I don’t know’. Gafoor was unavailable for comments despite several attempts.

Vinita also writes about how Karkare’s repeated pleas for reinforcements to block the passage of the terrorists fleeing Cama Hospital went unheeded for over an hour. This, Vinita says, gave terrorists Ajmal Amir Kasab and Abu Ismail free access to the lane.

The control room also failed to move the bleeding officers to hospital in time despite several calls from local residents to the control room, the book claims.

Vinita said she was initially reluctant about writing the book "but my desire to find out the truth about what happened on the night of November 26 leading to my husband's death ultimately triumphed."


If Vinita has shown the courage to come up with such a bold & well researched work we must support her for such courageous act. As a wife of the deceased police officer & ordinary citizen of India she has the whole right to probe into the details of this matter.We must not leave everything to the will & finding of the government departments. Untill & unless we, the ordinary citizen of India show the courage to stand for the justice "true democracy" will never come to the country.Even in the police department lots of scruplous person are involved.
