Vinita Kamte, wife of IPS officer Ashok Kamte, who died fighting terrorists during 26/11 Mumbai attacks, has criticised Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Rakesh Maria, for denying that he did not guide her husband to Cama hospital.
In her book titled 'The Last Bullet', Vinita has questioned why Maria, who took charge of Police Control Room during the 59-hour siege, had denied knowledge of how Ashok, Additional Police Commissioner (East), went to Cama Hospital.
The book was released on Tuesday by noted social activist Aruna Roy and former Mumbai police commissioner Julio Rebeiro at a function organised at hotel Taj Mahal, one of the scenes of 26/11 terror attacks last year.
According to wireless excerpts between the Control Room and the Eastern Region, Vinita, who accessed the conversations using Right To Information Act, said Maria had asked Ashok to go to Cama hospital as firing was on by the terrorists.
"Firing going on at Cama hospital and you are to come there," she said quoting the conversation between the Control Room and Eastern Region at 23.33 hours on November 26, 2008.
When contacted, Maria refused to comment, saying he had said whatever he had to before the Pradhan Committee, which examined different aspects of the attacks.
