Additional Commissioner of Police Sadanand Date has a 4-mm shrapnel in his right eye from grenades lobbed by surviving terrorist Qasab
Nearly a year after 26/11, Additional Commissioner of Police Sadanand Date continues to carry a 4-millimeter shrapnel behind his right eyeball from the grenades lobbed by terrorists Mohammed Ajmal Qasab and Abu Ismail in Cama and Albless Hospital.
On the fateful night of 26/11, Qasab and Ismail had riddled the area surrounding the lift on the fifth floor of the hospital with bullets and lobbed grenades.
Such was the impact of the grenade blasts that some of the shrapnel was found 50 metres across the corridor.
While shrapnel lodged in his knees was removed surgically, the metal in the eye continues to remain embedded. The attacks also left a big wound on his ribs, which he sees every morning in the mirror.
