'Hemant Karkare died because I cursed him': Sadhvi Pragya

Sadhvi Paragya, Malegaon blast accused and BJP’s candidate from Bhopal, has made a flippant remark, claiming that former chief of Mumbai’s Anti-Terrorist Squad, Hemant Karkare, who was killed by terrorists during 26/11 terror attacks, had to pay with his life because she had “cursed him”.

The Karkare-led ATS was the first to arrest Hindu right-wing group activists for a series of low-intensity blasts in Thane and Navi Mumbai in June 2008.
