"I feel proud of my husband's sacrifice but we have paid hard price for it. It is very painful because I am 50 plus and at this age I really needed my husband," she said.
Kavita, whose two daughters are abroad and her 17-year-old son is pursuing studies "quite independently", told NDTV that she regretted the decision of her husband to join the Anti-Terrorism Squad.
"I strongly regret that. When he took up the ATS job, I knew from his nature and uprightness that he will go in front and fight. It is a very risky job. That time, I used to tell him to apply for a UN job," she said.
Kavita said she was initially angry after the Mumbai terror attacks, "but now I think I am overcoming the anger. Because this anger and violence will not help to solve the problem. We should come together and do something constructive".
She said the ATS should have good weapons and good coordination to tackle such kind of terror attacks.

We r really sorry for the g8 loss.I strongly believe,as did serve with Sir Karkare.He n his team was Murdered ,what I strongly believe,for Malegan Blasts investigation , and all this Kasab plot is Mossad war game,he was killed on the special orders of some high politicians who were involved in the conspiracy of Bombing and Col of our Army.We feel ashamed today,justice should prevail in our country and L K Advani and Mossad should b interrogated for his murder,we will get all the clues from the file he had made,if not disappeared.These powers want hindu and muslims within the country to fight with each other,destabalize India and make it as it was 1000 years back. Karkare was a bold,daring,honest,courageous officer of our force and RAW. Who would never take bribe,he was not for sale and would always take side of truth and justice and always serach for the hidden truth. A true Indian. Jews are actually behind all this satged drama and shootings in the hotel,kill 2 birds with one stone.
first of all my condolences to the family and if we see practical side karkare was heading ATS when this happened and ATS did not knew about the plan its very sad that does not reflect any BRILLIANCE on ATS part next thing to notice is dont know why kavita is saying that she regrets her husband joining ATS when even a martyr sepoies widow says she is proud of her husbands sacrifice .is it just that she wanted to enjoy the previlages of IPS officers and did not want to share any risks of the job when she says she regret the day he joined ATS .i think IPS officers should be leading the operations instead of sitting in offices in addition to all this dont forget salaskar and kamte who were known for there courage before they died and i cant see any brilliance in karkers carer accept he was heading the dept which was responsible to keep mumbai safe and i think if he would have been alive he would have been the first officer to be sacked for negligence of duties
Mr. Hemant karkare did not die fighting the terrorists, but was shot dead when he was proceding to the place of action, unlike Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan or Mr. Thukaram Rambole. Yet, it was very unfortunate. The coverage he got from the media was not because of any supreme sacrifice, but because he was responsible for finding "Hindu Terrorists". Unfortunately, his death does not clear the doubt that he was acting under pressure from somebody in relation to the Malegaon investigation. According to some earlier reports, he had complained that he was under great pressure. That pressure could very well have been from the UPA government since some of their cabinet ministers had demanded a ban on the Hindu organizations as a pre-condition for re-imposing the ban on SIMI.
May your husband a true Maharashtrian be documented in the annals of history not for the way he was killed but for the way he worked selflessly honestlyy and with a forthrightness which will survive the lesser minions who now flaunt in the Mumbai political scenario
I have some thing to say on it. What was doing by ATS Chief (Malegaon Blast probe) was definitely a good task. But That can be done little later. While so many warnings are comming from left and right that there is possible of terror strike in Mumbai with possible targets atleast at that point of time ATS should keep the accused of Malegaon in the lockup and start working on inteligence tips. and Secondly while all three are main persons of security agencies how can all three go in one vehicle. Rather they should not go to front unles there is very very urgent. They are the comanders they should not exposed. Govt should take care of these things.Jai Hind
What is so great about Karkare.Actually,they were shot up because of incompetence and faulty procedure followed by them. Imagine a terrorist shoots policemen, take their veh, shoots more people,clearly reflect faulty tactics and training.Let us not make hero of their incompetence.I know he will get Ashok Chakra. That is Indian Politics and shame of nation.
We all Indians are proud to have a true son of the motherland. Jai Hind
I really appreciate Mrs.Kavita karkare views. Not only she , but the whole india have missed such a great officer. My only regret is why the media never talks about those constables who were killed with Mr. Karkare. Why donot we look at the bottom. We always sing in praise of a senior officer but not of a person who is at the bottom. Atleast his two girls are abroad and his son is 17 . what about those constable familieswho were killed. Why do not the media take interest in them. Open any paper there is only sex and films actresses semi nude photos. Media wants to sell though there itemsthrough nude phots. Our mind and soul have beccome very corrupt. God save thoseminds. It should be remembered that we are a country ruled by Lord Rama for 10000 years. We should not use this as a medium for selling our news.
I am a soldier. My Salutations to the upright
We are all proud of Mr.Hemant's Karkare sacrifice for the cause of nation's security.I salute this brave warrior who gave his life fighting against terror.I am proud to be from his state i.e Mharashtra.His wife and family members are showing with their behaviour the part of sacrifice .May his soul rest in peace.He has given message for people like me that to get rid of terror do not talk and seat at home,do something practical and positive.I will request Government of INDIA to give best bravery award to HEMANT KARKARE."WATAN KE IS SHAHID KO MERA SALAAM"
We are proud on YOU and your HUS. Indians lost an honest officer who brings out the evidence about Hindu Terrorism and their involvement in recent blasts held in various part of our country which was usually imposing to the account of Muslims. We lost you before finalise this probe which will figure out some black fingers of Hindu terrorism and its leaders. We are also now NOT sure how this probe will turns and continue.
Nice sacrifice for Saving Colonel Prohit handover to Pakistan over terrorsts act commited by him and proved by our own agency in whihc Paksitani as well as Indians loss lifes
We salute you Mr. Karkare...you truly is a MARTYR.....Wake up Indians and expose them who were about to be exposed by this HERO just before he died...........wake up now and expose the people who were behing Malegon(Samjotha Express) blast because that was the last task on which the MARTYR was working on.....and i have no doubts in my mind that his killers are the same people who were threatining him...and who were also behing Malgon bombimgs........It is our National duty to expose those extremists and corrupt politicians who thrive on the lives of likes of MR KARKARE
Mrs Karkare, You are and should be proud that your husband has been Mr. Karkare, who has earned more respect and honour in his death and please remember that not everyone gets this respect. As you say, you are proud of your husband, let me tell you madam, so are we, the INDIANS.
We are proud of your husband madam. He has made supreme secrifice. We pray GOD to give you strength to bear this loss. You will see the fruits of your husband's secriifice.soon.
Mrs.Karkare, India is proud to have a son like Mr.Karkare, who gave his life to save his mother land from terrorists. We all are forever greatful to him for the sacrifice. May his soul rest in peace.
Our Salute to you Bahanji. your family did the ultimate sacrifies to the nation.We are aware that the personal loss is uncompensatable . We apologize for our ineffective political system for causing the sufferings to many like you.
MOM, WE INDIANS ARE PROUD OF THE TRUE DAUGHTER OF MOTHER INDIA. WE BOW AT YOUR FEET FOR THE SUPREME SACRIFICE MADE BY YOUR HUSBAND.WE PRAY TO GOD TO GIVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A LONG HEALTHY LIFE, IN THE YEARS TO COME.
Media has made just one man and his wife a celebrity. Why not bow to the mothers of brave Indian soldiers and commanders also? Extremely one sided feelings Mr. Aravindan
We all are proud of your hero's death good officers dont care about the criticism even by the TOP brass they done their duty
Though she said feel proud of her husband's sacrifice at the same time she feels the pain by his lost is terrible for a wife like she. I urge she must sue the concerned crooks in our govt. who are responsible and purchased sub-standard Bullet-Proof Jackets for our Police Force, that cost the life of our innocent
FIRST OF ALL MS KARKARE PUT PRESSURE ON THE GOVT TO IMPROVE THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN THE FORCES ALSO THE GOVT SHOULD MAKE SURE THE POLICE IS ALLOWED TO DO ITS JOB TO PROTECT THE COMMON MAN INSTEAD WE SHOULD CONDEMN RAJ THACKERAY AND HIS GANG WHO KEEP THE COPS ON TENTERHOOKS BY THEIR GOONDAISM RAJ SHOULD NOW OWN RESPONSIBILITY AND HIS GANG HAVE TO NOW INTROSPECT AND SEE WHO OUR REAL ENEMIES ARE THAT KARKARE LOST HIS LIFE IS VERY SAD BUT HE COULD HAVE WELL LIVED HAD THE POLICE SENSED THE SERIOUSNESS AND ACTED MORE DILIGENTLY ANYWAY JAI HIND AND SALUTE ALL THE MARTYRS
No doubt, whole India proud of your husband and salute.
Every idian should proud for his sacrifice to country. but same time don't allow the culprits who are behind the scene to escape and make benifit from the incident. why the authorities afraid t6o reveal the facts behind it. Bring terrosist Kasab infront of Media publicaly and reveal to the world actually what happened. then only we the Indians do justice to KARKARE'S family. Jai Hind.
"every Indian should be proud of his sacrifice".Why do you speak for all Indians or even wish that all Indians should be proud.This is a democratic country and pls speak for yourself only.Karkare was no saint going by his zeal for the fake Malegaon investigation
Dear Nujum, what you think is fact?.That is problem with the terror mind,they only understand the language of terror.So you will get it .
All the Indians except the rouge sanghi's are proud of Mr karkare. He was a brave officer and a honest gentleman.
I was so sad at first face when i heard the news of the brave Indian officer' death who confront terror with a iron heart...he was the one who could have brought the truth out on many issues concerned with terrorism.We saw the same pseudo nationalist faces which were so happy when he died...
how many issues you are talking about sorry for this but he failed to prevent the very attack he was responsible to prevent as ATS cheif i think the real hero was the cop who was responsible for kasabs arrest salute to him alas have not heard much about him
Ms. Karkare there is nothing new in what you are saying. Practically every unsung martyred jawan's wife goes through the same rigmarole of feelings. Just because your husband chose to become a pawn of the UPA government you have become an instant celebrity. Had your husband been an upright man - investigating the real terrorists rather than coining meaningless phrases / pursuing dead investigations in the so called "hindu terrorism" - he might have been alive today. There is no point in debating the pro and cons of his job now. Someone had to do it. But in future do think about the numerous war widows whom your husband and his masters chose to condemn and implicate in nonsensical investigations. The wrath of the army and the wrath of war widows has come to haunt you. It is a lesson for all of us - never again point fingers on soldiers without being 100% certain. Good luck to you and your family.
Bhimsen, for heaven's sake do not throw filth on a martyr.if you a grouse on politicians just spit venom on them.please
Mr. Bhimsen you have again tried to play political cards by expressing your views on one sided.You mean to say that Hemant Karkare went on the wrong track by detecting some truthful investigations? and thats why he has paid his price ? Before advising Mrs. karkare use some sense in writing your thoughts.
Mr.Bhimsen u hit the nail on the head when u saif tht.Karkare was licking sonia's feet and Salaskar killed that guy Rahul Raj..both these men deserved what they got.when people sell their conscious for money..even God despises them..and they were not killed in Combat..they were shot by Kasab when they were sitting in the car and driving through Cama hospital..no martyrs..just collateral damage these guys!
