Indians and the world know Kasab. The man who shook Mumbais roots. But did any one try to know how Kasab got delayed in escaping and was caught by the Police? How well do we respect the Indian Police, do we have any idea how Kasab was chased?
I hope you all know 'Ajmal Kasab'? Let me introduce all Mumbaikaras and Indians world wide to a Man in KHAKI ASI - Tukaram Omble. We have never heard of this person. Imagine how popular Kasab is, and how we care about the person who is responsible for catching him.
This is a fact, and a real incident that happened. On the day terrorists attacked Mumbai, ASI Tukaram Omble, 48, was on night duty. At 12.30 am on 27 November he had called his family and spoken to them.
Omble's senior told him to take up position on Marine Drive on Wednesday night, after the news of firings at Leopold Cafe, Oberoi and Taj Hotels came in. Around 12.45 am, he got an alert on his walkie-talkie that two terrorists had hijacked a Skoda car and were heading for Girgaum Chowpatty. Just minutes later, the Skoda whizzed past him.
Omble jumped on to his motorcycle and chased the car. A team from DB Marg police station was setting up a barricade at the chowpatty signal. As the car approached the signal, the terrorists opened fire on the police, but had to reduce speed because of the barricades. Omble overtook the Skoda and stopped in front of it, forcing the driver of the car to swerve right and hit the divider. With the terrorists momentarily distracted, Omble sprang toward one of them, Ajmal Kasab, and gripped the barrel of the AK47 rifle with both hands. With the barrel pointing towards Omble, Kasab pulled the trigger, hitting Omble in the abdomen. Omble collapsed, but held on to the gun till he lost consciousness, which likely stopped Kasab from shooting others.
Now you got him, right?? He was the Lion heart who sacrificed himself to save many lives and catch Kasab alive.
Do you know where his family is? Do you know what his family does? Nobody wants to know that!! Just try to compare what Govt. spend for Omble's family and what govt. spends for the mighty terrorist Kasab. Shouldn't we feel ashamed??
What has Indian Government done to his family? I don’t think he was even rewarded for his life he dedicated country. Omble should be awarded the posthumous Bharat Ratna and his name be etched in golden letters for future generations who may know that it does not take someone big to do a great thing for the nation as Omble clearly did. Indian government still waits for so many court sessions to prove that he is not a terrorist who killed her own sons and daughters.
Personally, I feel I would have cut him into pieces and thrown him to the Indian dogs, so that not a single person would mess with Indians.
