#MumbaiAttacks #WillNeverForget "Even at 12:30 AM, Papa kept on reassuring me that there would be no trouble at his checkpost. He always had this habit of keeping us away from his professional tension. Even if he was under a lot of pressure, he would never show that at home." Eleven years after Mumbai experienced the life-changing terrorist attacks on 26/11, The Better India pays homage to the heroes who fought bravely that day and their efforts to rebuild afterwards. “It was around this time, mid-day. Papa told us that he would be back by the next morning. He told us not to worry.It has been a decade since he has been gone, but we miss him every day,” she begins, sitting inside her home at Worli Police Camp in Mumbai Ten years ago, on the fateful dawn after 26th November 2008, assistant sub-inspector police officer Tukaram Omble took 40 bullets to himself while tackling Ajmal Kasab⁠—the most notorious face of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. It was Omble’s intervention and hands-on tussle with Kasab that helped the authorities to capture him, though at the cost of his own precious life. The government and the public have honoured Omble with awards and recognitions. He was awarded a posthumous Ashok Chakra and in Kedambe, his native village, his sacrifice is remembered every day through statues, gatherings and school lessons. However, for his family back in Mumbai, there is an irreparable void in their lives. Festivities have evaded the household, and nothing can ever fill...

A Decade After 26/11 Terror Attack, Justice Remains Elusive For Tukaram Omble's Family Tukaram Omble was an Assistant Sub-Inspector who was killed while confronting Ajmal Kasab in the Mumbai terror attack. • • • • • A Decade After 26/11 Terror Attack, Justice Remains Elusive For Tukaram Omble's Family Every year in November, the Ombles are tossed into a timewarp. It draws the surviving family of assistant sub-inspector Tukaram Omble back to 2008, right into the tortured days after the Mumbai terror attack. Vaishali Omble (29) says their lives changed forever after tragedy struck them unexpectedly and took their beloved father away. Luckily, the Mumbai police has been with them like a rock. “They supported our family in all the odds we faced after our father’s death. We received immediate help whenever we made a call to any police officer in Mumbai,” says a grateful Vaishali. A police job comes with its risks, true, but nothing prepared the Ombles for the terrible blow. Omble had served as a jawan in the Indian army before he joined the Mumbai police. On 26/11, he was unarmed, but it did not stop him from taking on Ajmal Kasab and Ismail when they exited Cama Hospital, after their carnage at the CST railway terminal, where they opened fire on defenceless commuters, killing more than 50. The killers weren’t going to be stopped yet: Kasab fired the fatal bullet that took Tukaram’s life. Vaishali, thus, spent her early adult years without a father’s hand to guide her. “It was ...

In a touching gesture, a new spider species has been named after Tukaram Omble, the policeman who had captured Pakistani fidayeen Mohammed Ajmal Kasab alive during the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai. The new jumping spider species has been named 'Icius tukarami'. Naturalist and photographer Dhruv Prajapati introduced two spider species – one named after Omble and another after his friend Kamlesh Cholke. The second species has been named 'Phintella cholkei' and is distributed in Thane and the Aarey Milk Colony in Mumbai. Omble, an Assistant Sub Inspector, was conferred Ashok Chakra, the country's highest peace-time gallantry award for extraordinary bravery and valour in the line of duty. Omble, who hailed from the Satara district, had joined the police force as a constable in 1991 after retiring from the Indian Army's Signal Corps as a Naik. Omble, who was attached to the DB Marg Police Station, was manning a post set up on the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose aka Marine Drive. On the intervening night of 26-28, 2008 when two terrorists – Abu Ismail and Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, in a Skoda – when speeding on the Marine Drive, they were apprehended near the Girgaum Chowpatty. While Ismail was shot dead by the police party, Kasab was caught by Omble, who overpowered the terrorists even after he was pumped in with multiple bullets.
