- Did affirmative action result in 26/11 Police failures?
- A two-member committee that investigated the police response to the 26/11 terror attacks has singled out then Mumbai police commissioner Hasan Gafoor for his complete failure to provide leadership in the hour of crisis.
- The committee, however, said Gafoor completely failed to implement the standard operation procedures laid down in the Bombay Police Manual in letter and spirit. Through much of the attack, Gafoor stationed himself at one spot near the Oberoi and asked crime branch chief Rakesh Maria to take charge of the control room. Gafoor did not show qualities of leadership, the panel said. Above all, Gafoor's attitude created an impression among subordinates that they were not part of the high-level police team tackling terror.
