Mumbai, Nov 27 (ANI): Mumbai's Crime Branch Chief, Rakesh Maria has said he is ready to quit from his post over allegations in a book that he didn't do enough to provide security cover for slain senior cops Hemant Karakare, Ashok Kamte and Vijay Salaskar.
He has expressed a desire to meet Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil on the matter.
Maria is believed to have
sought consent to counter allegations made against him in a book co-authored by Vinita Kamte, the wife of ACP Ashok Kamte who was shot dead on the night of the 26/11 terrorist attacks.
Maria was in charge of the police control room that night, when Kamte, encounter specialist Vijay Salaskar and Anti-Terror Squad Chief Hemant Karakare asked for additional cover to counter the terrorists near Cama Hospital.
