<p>"Neither me nor any of my three sisters would join the police force respecting our father's wish," Ombales third daughter Vaishali said.<br /><br />Ombale, who grappled unarmed with AK 47-wielding Kasab at Girgaum Chowpatty in south Mumbai on November 26-27 night, made the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty, but not before he had ensured the capture of the Pakistani terrorists alive.<br />"My father did not want us (sisters) to join the police force. He had his own reasons. All he wished for us was to be happy," Vaishali, who has completed her B Ed, said.<br />Her youngest sister Bharti has been offered a clerical job in government as part of the state government's compensation.<br />"I will soon take up a teaching assignment and look after the family. Some of my father's dreams remain unfulfilled. I will try to fulfil those, said 25-year-old Vaishali, who finds it painful to recollect the sequence of events of the dreadful night as the first anniversary of the dastardly attacks approaches. <br />"On the morning of November 27, my elder sister Pavitra called informing us that father has been injured. She came to know of it while watching news channels," recalls Vaishali.<br /><br />"We could not believe her as I had spoken to him at around 12.30 am and he said he was fine. Disbelieving, I started calling my father to find out if he was all right. As the phone was constantly switched off I felt a shiver run through me," reminisces Vaishali.<br /><br />Vaishali then called the D B Marg police station and was told that Ombale had been admitted to the Harkishandas hospital.<br />"As we were stepping out of the house to go to the hospital, we saw our father's colleagues coming towards us. Their sombre faces confirmed our worst fears," she said.<br /><br />On the fateful night of November 26-27 Ombale was among the posse of policemen present at Girgaum Chowpatty when they were alerted about two terrorists on the run on a hijacked Skoda car.<br />As the Skoda advanced towards them ominously, the policemen tried to stop the vehicle, the terrorists inside opened a burst of fire. One of the policemen returned the fire and shot dead a terrorist, but the other, who ultimately turned out to be Kasab, pretended to surrender, and as Ombale rushed to overpower him, opened fire. <br /><br />In a flash, Ombale clutched the barrel of the AK 47 with both hands and, despite bullet injuries, did not let him go.<br />Ombale's colleagues pounced on Kasab and pinned him down.</p>
