As India marked the 11th anniversary of the infamous 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, several people paid their tributes to the martyred Police official Tukaram Omble.

Many posts include a picture collage in which one of the images is of a martyred police official and it has been claimed that it was Tukaram Omble after he was shot by the terrorist.

The text with the picture read: “Let’s take a moment to remember the hero of 26/11! He took over 40 rounds from the AK47 of Ajmal Kasab, but captured him alive. We salute you, Sri Tukaram Omble Ji! #MumbaiTerrorAttack.”
