A N Roy,
former DGP, Maharashtra
'Himanshu was a bright and knowled-geable officer, quick in response and understand-ing. He was also a good human being, optimistic in his approach. When I became state DGP, Himanshu was posted in Nashik as commissioner. After learning about his ailment, I used to speak to him periodically. He faced the suffering bravely and tried to remain positive about it. But slowly he started losing the battle, as he wasn't improving'
