On the night of November 26, 2008, when 10 LeT men put the city under siege, security personnel from the NSG, the Quick Response Team, the SRPF and the Mumbai police were out on the streets battling it out. That is known.
What is not, is the situation inside the police control room and that it was no less than a battlefield.
MiD DAY spoke to a police officer on what happened inside that room. But he did not want to be named because of the Rakesh Maria-Vinita Kamte controversy.
"We were getting desperate phone calls. And it was not one or two calls, but thousands," said the police officer.
Upset: Vinita Kamte
