Tukaram Omble, who served as an assistant sub-inspector with the Mumbai Police, was killed on November 26, 2008, while attempting to arrest Pakistani terrorist Kasab. Despite being unarmed, he bravely confronted the terrorist and held onto his rifle, preventing further casualties. His actions not only led to Kasab's arrest but also exposed the origins of the attackers.
