The Indian Police Service is a job like no other. You have to constantly be on your toes, ready to fight criminals and, if required, give up your life at any moment. These are the real superheroes.

When we talk about Karkare and Salaskar, additional commissioner of Mumbai Police Ashok Kamte's name cannot be missed out. He was part of the trio which arrived first at the scene during the Mumbai 26/11 attacks. Kamte was a fearless officer who was known for being compassionate. The officer had a great rapport with his team, with some of them even calling him their god. A dedicated athlete and a body builder, Kamte had won a number of honours and medals, including the police medal and the UN medal.
