A new twist has been added to the Mumbai police investigations into the missing bulletproof jacket worn by slain ATS chief Hemant Karkare on 26/11.

Piecing the jigsaw puzzle together, investigators say that Karkare, a 1982 batch IPS officer, was killed in an ambush near Cama Hospital, along with Ashok Kamte and encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar during the November 26 terror attacks. Karkare and Kamte were then taken to Bombay Hospital.

According to police records, both the officers were bleeding profusely on the way to hospital, where they were declared dead.

Minutes later, senior officers in the police control room ordered that Karkare and Kamte be taken to the government JJ Hospital as part of standard procedure followed by the Mumbai police.
