Mumbai cop Tukaram Ombale
January 26, 2009
Tukaram Ombale, Maharashtra Police assistant sub-inspector who was decorated with Ashok Chakra posthumously, was on night duty at D B Marg Police Station on November 26, when the terrorists attacked Mumbai.
Around midnight, a wireless message was flashed that two terrorists were moving towards Marine Drive in a car and Ombale immediately positioned barricades to block its passage.
As soon the car stopped, one of the terrorists inside the car opened fire and Ombale rushed to the left side of the car and pounced on the other terrorist to snatch his AK-47 rifle.
In the process, he got seriously injured and later succumbed to injuries.
