Hemant Karkare

Cop and an Ascetic

Hemant Karkare was a blue-blooded Maharashtrian Brahmin. He was accused of a pro-Islamic tilt and an anti-Hindu bias because in the Malegaon blast case he had ordered that Pragya Thakur and her group, which included army officers, be chargesheeted. For this, Karkare had to face fire and brimstone, but he did not waver. Subsequently, investigation of the case was taken up by the National Investigation Agency.
