ATS Chief Hemant Karkare

My tribute to ATS Chieft Hemant Karkare, IPS officer of the 1982 batch, 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.”

Encounter Specialist: Vijay Salaskar

My tribute to Encounter Specialist Bravo Mr. Vijay Salaskar

Vijay Salaskar was killed in Mumbai terrorist attacks on November 27th at Metro Cinema. I like to write a note on Mr.Vijay Salaskar and want to give my tribute to him for his brave and excellent life he live for our country.

With Tuesday’s encounter, the number of criminals shot dead by inspector Vijay Salaskar touched 78. Salaskar, who was reportedly sidelined for the last two years for unearthing the gutka-underworld nexus, was recently attached to the crime branch, where he currently heads the anti-extortion cell. 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.
