Facts: Hasan Gafoor is now the ex-police commissioner of Mumbai, replaced by D Sivanandan (Chief of Police Intelligence). He was in charge during the Mumbai attacks last November. The Ram Pradhan committee that probed the terror strike has indicted him among many others for failure to handle the crisis. 58 year old Gafoor is the from the 1974 batch of IPS officers and is known for being soft spoken. He was appointed on 1st March, 2008. Now he has been transferred to the police housing corporation, which he insists has nothing to do with the probe, and it was supposed to happen in due course of time.
Views: I was watching the last 2 scenes of the film "Ab Tak Chappan" on TV with mom yesterday. Nana Patekar kills the don by befriending him. And then in the last scene somewhere out of India, he talks to the police commissioner about his future plans, where the film ends. The most interesting thing that I noticed today morning is Hasan Gafoor's portrait in today's TOI. He looks just like the police commissioner in Ab Tak Chappan that was played by veteran actor Mohan Agashe. I was amazed! For a second I thought it was the actor's picture in the paper. But no! I guess Mohan Agashe's character and looks were modeled on Hasan Gafoor. Both police and politics go hand in hand. (No wonder they both start with P - PJ!!!)
