Mumbai cop Omble’s memorial to be built at a cost of Rs 13.46 cr

The Maharashtra government has sanctioned Rs 13.46 crore for a memorial in honour of Ashok Chakra awardee Tukaram Omble, the Mumbai police officer who captured 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab. The memorial will be constructed in his native village, Kedambe, in Satara district, an



official said on Saturday.

Omble, a sub-inspector with the Mumbai Police, made the ultimate sacrifice while executing his senior officers’ order to capture Kasab alive. He was posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra, India’s highest peacetime gallantry award.
