Please familiarize yourself with original text of statement for clear understanding of inconsistencies stated below.

========================================

“At the outset, I wish to say that there are at least three eye witnesses to the incident”,,,, the three witnesses you are presenting, one is an accused criminal (if he exists) and two are economically challenged employees of the prosecuting government. Very weighful witnesses?

“Before they reached the CST, they found that the road had been blocked due to a nakabandi. Hence, Shri Karkare and his team walked from that point to the CST.”,,,, what kind of crime management is this which restricts police mobility? (and terrorists roam freely through same barriers)

“Shri Ashok Kamte, Additional CP..... When he reached Azad Maidan Police Club”,,,,
1) It’s not clearly stated whether he was ordered or not to go to Azad Maidan Police Club, and who passed such order?
2) Why he reached (or made to reach) this particular unofficial location, a CLUB, where no action was happening?

“he was told that he could not take the car to the rear gate of Cama Hospital.”,,,,
1) WAS TOLD? Who told him he could not take the car to rear gate? Do he/they have names?
2) Here also restricting mobility of police officers? Who had made such orders that the senior officers at level of ATS Chief and ACP had to forego their mobility.

“At Colaba Police Station, Arun Jadhav, the Police Naik, joined him. Shri Salaskar was instructed through mobile phone by Shri Rakesh Maria, Joint CP (Crime) to rush to Mumbai Police Headquarters.”,,,,
1) Why Salaskar was instructed “to rush to Mumbai Police Headquarters” instead of rushing to some action places?
2) The first most shooting of Mumbai carnage occured at a café almost adjacent wall to this Colaba police station. And just a few minutes after that, one block away, the same terrorists started shooting in Taj Hotel. Why Salaskar was MOVED AWAY from the most important action place very close to Colaba Police Station?
3) Why Rakesh Maria “instructed through mobile phone” instead of dedicated police communication network?

“While driving to the Headquarters, Shri Salaskar spotted two armed police men standing alert at the gate of Azad Maidan Police Station”,,,,
1) did Salaskar spotted and talked to all the policemen standing in his way towards Headquarters? What was so special in these particular ones?
2) ok these armed policemen knew about the shootout at Cama Hospital, but still they didn't move to Cama hospital (the next door) and stayed at Azad Maidan Police Station? Are they paid just for ‘standing alert’?

“They informed Shri Salaskar about the shootout near Cama Hospital. Hence, Shri Salaskar rushed to the rear gate of Cama Hospital with his team”,,,, but wasn’t Salaskar ordered to “to rush to Mumbai Police Headquarters”? Did he disobey his commander and instead of rushing to headquarters rather he got subordinated to two supposedly junior policemen?
Did he even inform headquarters that he is no more rushing to headquarters as ordered? No such mention in statement.

“it would be seen that the three officers, Shri Karkare, Shri Kamte and Shri Salaskar, converged at the rear gate of Cama Hospital through independent routes”,,,, not CONVERGED, but rather MADE TO CONVERGE (if they converged at all)

“Shri Karkare directed his team to take position at the same spot and, accompanied by Shri Kamte and Shri Salaskar, got into the police jeep, a Qualis vehicle”,,,, how did THIS Qualis vehicle reach there? The killed three officers were not being allowed to take their vehicles to rear gate of Cama hospital, but others were?

“got into the police jeep, a Qualis vehicle, belonging to the ACP, Pydhonie Division”,,,, what? Where is ACP, Pydhonie Division (Shantilal Bhambre) himself?

So you are telling that three senior officers killed, none in their own official or unofficial vehicles, but all three in a vehicle of another police officer, who himself was not killed, hurt, not even accompanied them?

If ACP Pydhonie Division was at the scene then why he didn't accompany them?
If ACP Pydhonie Division was not at the scene then what his vehicle was doing there?

“ACP, Pydhonie Division”,,,, may be coincidently or not coincidently, in 1993 riots, Pydhonie was one of the worst hit place, mostly with muslim victims.

“The two terrorists pulled out the three injured officers from the front and middle seats and hijacked the Qualis vehicle along with the four men whom the terrorists believed were dead”,,,, BELIEVED? Can you board a vehicle BELIEVING your potential killers are dead?

“While it is indeed unfortunate that three brave officers and their men boarded one Qualis vehicle, the circumstances in which they came under fire and were killed were tragically fortuitous”,,,, Yes, indeed very “fortuitous”.

“Jadhav got out of vehicle”,,, but in the rescue video Jadhav is being PULLED OUT (unlike 'got out') by removing rear windshield of vehicle (visible at 2:17 in video).
If, per your statement, he was able to get out by himself, then per video, why he had to be pulled out?
And if, per your statement, he somehow did manage to get out initially by himself, then why did he go back? (would a normal person like to go back near three dead bodies?)

His video also raises question that if he was unable to come out by himself then how could he grab wireless handset (visible at 0:19 and 2:05 in video) without getting out or without anyone else assisting him. Usually the wireless base-set and handset are affixed near driver panel.

“and reported the incident to the control room using the wireless set in the Qualis vehicle. The control room received the report at 00:25 hrs, that is shortly after midnight of 26th/27th November 2008”,,,,

1) This terrorists' hijacked Qualis was seen at metro junction shooting at 10.50 PM. That happened, according to your story, a few minutes AFTER they had killed and thrown out the three senior officers (in other words, all the three officers were fatally shot BEFORE 10.50 PM). But your “control room received the report at 00:25 hrs”?

The ‘Free Press Journal Marg’ (where Qualis was abandoned) is just 1.5 mile away from metro junction (where this vehicle was recorded at 10.50 PM). So Jadhav should had been alone after terrorists abandoned Qualis at ‘Free Press Journal Marg’ at around,,, say max 11.05 PM? Why did it take Jadhav until 12:25 midnight to report to control room?

2) Why didn’t your other witness, Phad, his family or his rescuers inform that nearby there are three bodies thrown out from a police vehicle? This Phad guy, according to his ridiculously self-inconsistent statements, has stated he had a functional mobile phone and his family were watching HIM (but not THEM ) from the window of their apartment!
(by the way, this hero was shot from FRONT but somehow managed to pull out by himself an AK-47 bullet ‘lodged’ in his BACK ).

“Shri Maruti Mahdavrao Phad... had witnessed the incident from a close distance. He is a witness to the movements of the two terrorists who took cover behind some bushes and fired on the Qualis vehicle, pulled out three injured men and eventually hijacked the vehicle.”,,,, but Phad says “There was no electricity and the area was drowned in darkness”,,, then how could he witness through the “terrorists”, “Qualis” and “three injured men”? That also through the “rear view mirror”?

By the way, as per statement of Phad, why “There was no electricity”?
