My husband was fighting evil: Kavita Karkare

Mumbai: Hemant Karkare, the Maharashtra police officer who was assassinated during the Mumbai terror attacks, was a “very strong person” and criticism of his probe into the Malegaon blast didn’t deter him, his wife has said.
Kavita Karkare, wife of the slain chief of Maharashtra Police’s Anti-Terrorist Squad, said criticism of her husband and the blast investigation had been sorrowful for her family.
“He wasn’t under pressure; from what I understood. According to the Bhagwad Gita, if you’re fighting evil, even if your gurus are not doing the right thing, you must continue your fight,” Kavita told CNN-IBN.
“He wasn’t confused, his ideas, his ideology was fixed. Even the investigations were going smoothly, he had finished his work.
“He was criticised by various political parties; by people from every side. It was humiliating and sorrowful for us, but I know my husband was right. He had proof, so he was comfortable; he was a very strong person,” she said.
Karkare, Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Kamte, Inspector Vijay Salaskar were killed while chasing terrorists on November 26, 2008.
Kavita says it took time for her to realise that her husband had died. “When I saw that night, I did not immediately realise what happened. I thought he was wounded, but when I reached the hospital, I got to know the reality.
“It’s been very difficult for the children. My elder daughter who’s married has her in-laws to help her, but my younger daughter in the London School of Economics and my son are finding it difficult to cope up,” she said.
“His death is a very enviable, it is a rare death and I am proud of him.
Members of Hindu radical groups have been named as accused in the Malegaon blast of September 29 last year. The ATS team came under severe criticism from Hindu groups for arresting Hindu seers and a serving Army officer in connection with the case.
