A petition filed in the high court has sought a re-investigation of the death of former ATS chief Hemant Karkare alleging that the attack on him on the night of 26/11 was orchestrated by Intelligence Bureau (IB) personnel and members of “right wing terrorist outfit” Abhinav Bharat.
The petition filed by Radhakant Yadav, 77, former MLA from Bihar is broadly based on the contentious book written by former IPS officer SM Mushriff. In his petition, Yadav has stated that a parallel operation was planned and executed by Abhinav Bharat with the connivance and aide of communal officers of the IB that coincided with the 26/11 attack.
The petition alleges that Karkare was targeted as he was about to arrest some industrialists, diamond merchants and builders who allegedly funded the activities of Abhinav Bharat.
“The IB, with the help of Mumbai police crime branch, stage-managed the encounter at Girgaum Chowpatty” where one of the terrorists, Abu Ismail, was gunned down and another, Kasab, was caught alive,” his petition states.
The petitioner has relied on the judgment of the trial court in 26/11 attacks case, wherein it is stated that names of Kasab and his slain aide Abu Ismail find absolutely no place in the intercepted conversation between the LeT operatives and their Pakistani handlers.
The government has to file a reply in two weeks.
The motive of "right wing terrorist outfit" to kill Karkare may be convincingly ascribed. After all, only grudge need to be established to imply motive. Since millions of Hindus might have held a grudge against Karkare for the way he went about treating Sadhvi Pragnya, particularly as reports of forcing her to view pornography surfaced, motive could have been ascribed to all of them to want to bump off Karkare. But the question is, how did Karkare die? He was clearly shot at by terrorists from Pakistan in full public view. Unless it is proved that these Pakistani terrorists were part of Hindu conspiracy, what the "Karkare was killed by right-wing terrorist outfit" chorus have on hand is simply an unproven conspiracy theory.
