Congress leader from Maharashtra Vijay Wadettiwar courted a major controversy over his remarks about the death of former state anti-terrorism squad (ATS) head Hemant Karkare during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
In his "contentious" claim, Wadettiwar stated that Karkare succumbed to bullet injuries due to firing by a police officer affiliated to RSS and not by terrorist Ajmal Kasab.
