Her conclusion that the police officer died soon after because of her curse and his deeds against her, as she implies, is far easier to hold up to scrutiny. It is true that Karkare was the ATS chief whose team pursued the Malegaon case, among several others, and uncovered a trail that led to charges against her (among others). Karkare died in action, in pursuit of terrorists, and while upholding the law every serving police officer is sworn to. The suggestion that Karkare was killed for his role in the Malegaon terror case has been whispered around as a conspiracy theory—with no proof whatsoever—for more than a decade now. Neither of which does much to help Indian democracy raise its score of good karma.
