The Bombay High Court has issued notice to the central and state government on a petition seeking high-level probe into the killing of former Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare and two other higher police officers during the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai in 2008. Veteran socialist and three-time MLA from Madhepura in Bihar, Radhakant Yadav, had approached the High Court on August 6. The court heard his petition on August 17 and issued notice to the governments asking them to reply within four weeks to the petitioner’s demand for a competent authority into the killing. Karkare had become an eyesore for Hindutva terrorists and terror groups whose role in some terror bombings in the country he had been exposing. Weeks before the Mumbai attack he had exposed the hand of Hindutva terrorists in the 2008 Malegaon blast and arrested Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, Col Purohit and others. He was threatened for the probe and during the Mumbai attack he was killed in mysterious circumstances.
