Sadanand Date, the 1990 batch IPS officer from the city and the additional commissioner of Mumbai police, who was seriously injured in a grenade attack during the terror strike in Mumbai is said to be out of danger now.
Dr Jaiprakash Hardikar, who operated on Date at the King Edward Memorial (KEM) hospital, informed Waman Parkhi, Date's Pune-based close friend and civil service batch mate, that Date is safe and sound.
Date's wife Manisha preferred not to speak to the media, but Ashok Joshi, the director of Indsearch in Pune under whom Date did his PhD in economic offences, told MiD DAY that he was very much relieved to hear that Date was safe. "I was told that he will be discharged in a day or two," Joshi said.
Though, the details on how Date got injured are still unclear, Parkhi said that he incurred injuries when a grenade exploded while he was trying to get inside one of the hotels where terrorists were holed up. He was rescued and taken to the hospital by six constables of the Mumbai police.
