Life is painful: Karkare’s wife

Mumbai: “Its difficult and painful without him,” says Kavita Karkare, wife of the former Anti Terrorism Squad chief, Hemant Karkare, more than a month after he was killed in the Mumbai attack.

“I feel proud of my husband’s sacrifice, but we paid a hard price for it,” she said. “It is very painful because I am 50-plus and at this age I really needed my husband.”

She said it was very difficult for the children. “My elder daughter, who is married, has a family to help her. But my younger daughter in London School of Economics and my 17-year-old son are finding it difficult to cope [with the loss of their father]. The first month, we were in so much grief. At night they cry, then get angry.”

She rues Karkare’s decision to join the ATS. “I knew from his nature and uprightness that he will go in front and fight. It is a very risky job. I used to tell him to apply for a U.N. job,” she said. — PTI
