Rediff.com's A Ganesh Nadar spoke to Inspector Sanjay Govilkar, who intercepted Ajmal Kasab and his accomplice Ismail Khan when the duo approached them at Chowpatty in their stolen car on November 26, 2008.
'We began hitting Kasab hard.' 'In the melee it struck me that the man we were beating to pulp should remain alive.'
'26/11 taught us we have to be ready for a direct attack. Today if anyone launches a similar attack we are more than prepared.'
Several police inspectors went beyond their call of duty and stepped into the firing line to save others when terror struck the heart of Mumbai three years ago. Ganesh A Nadat meets some of them -- those who were hailed as heroes and those who were forgotten.
