Ex-Maharashtra CM blames cops for 26/11 lapses | Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh today said no action has been taken against officers responsible for the 26/11 terror attack lapses. Just hours before the findings of the Ram Pradhan
Committee that probed the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks was to be tabled in the
Maharashtra Assembly, Deshmukh said that ministers took moral responsibility for
the attacks and had resigned, but no action has been taken against officers. Speaking
to reporters here, he said: "Taking moral responsibility after 26/11, ministers
resigned. That does not mean that we were responsible for the attacks. When there
is public anger, the state government has to bear the brunt of it. But, I have
never heard or read if any cop has been questioned in the 26/11 case." According
to sources, the report says the Mumbai Police initially responded to the terror
attacks like any everyday law and order situation. The processing of intelligence
inputs at the state level was mechanical and confused. The report has criticized
Mumbai Police for poor co-ordination and supervision, besides poor and inadequate
infrastructure support. The report also criticises former Mumbai Police Commissioner
Hasan Gafoor for poor leadership and admires the Director General of Police (DGP)
for giving off his best despite the area being out of his jurisdiction. The report
praises Joint Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria for handling the police control
room to the best of his ability. The report also lashes out at the confusion over
intelligence alerts, saying proper operational procedures were not followed. |
