Click to play videoMumbai: The controversy over the bulletproof jacket worn by slain 26/11 hero ATS chief Hemant Karkare refuses to die.
A day after reports of the martyr's jacket having been dumped in a dustbin, now the file on the procurement of the alleged substandard bulletproof jackets has mysteriously surfaced. But shockingly some pages are missing.
"The case which was murky earlier has turned murkier. If some one speaks one lie then to justify another lie he has to speak hundreds of lies and the process of uttering hundred lies has begun," former IPS Officer YP Singh said.
In April 2009, Mumbai Police flatly denied information on the bulletproof jacket to a RTI activist Santosh Daundkar saying that the file has gone missing. Now its sudden reappearance with some pages missing raises a few questions.
Did the Mumbai Police lie about the file when information was sought under RTI? What are the contents of this file? Why are certain pages missing from the file?
Rattled by the severe reprimand earlier this month by the Bombay High Court and a stern directive to furnish all the details of the missing bulletproof jackets' file, Mumbai Police might have found the contentious file, which many say never went missing, but their real test now would be to convince the court about its flip-flops.
