Bhopal: Malegaon blast-accused and BJP candidate from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur has reportedly said that Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) officer Hemant Karkare died because she had cursed him.
ANI posted a video in which she is seen saying that she had asked Karkare to let him go if there was no evidence against her but Karkare told her he will find evidence. “Maine kaha tera (Mumbai ATS chief late Hemant Karkare) sarvanash hoga (I had told him he will be ruined).Theek sava mahine mein sutak lagta hai. Jis din main gayi thi us din iske sutak lag gaya tha. Aur theek sava mahine mein jis din atankwadiyon ne isko maara, us din uska anth hua. (A curse takes time to take effect. The day I was arrested the curse began. And in exactly 45 days he was killed when terrorists struck in Mumbai).
Deccan Herald quoted her as saying the IPS officer died because of his “karma”, referring to his investigation which led to the arrest of Pragya and other Hindutva outfit members. While campaigning in Bhopal, she said, “inauspicious period started for Hemant Karkare when I was arrested. Exactly 45 days later he was killed and that was the end of the inauspicious period.”
Karkare was killed along with two other senior police officers while fighting terrorists during the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai in November 2008.
