This
is the story of two cops, ASI Dilip Shirke and his senior, PI Vilas Joshi.
Both
attached to Vakola Police Station and both, died on the same day.
While
PI Vijay Joshi is heralded a hero and bid adieu with a gun salute, ASI Dilip
Shirke is condemned a criminal.
Colleagues
of Dilip Shirke say that his seniors victimized him because he spoke up for the
constables.
Sr
PI Pardeshi who headed Vakola Police Station before Joshi says, Dilip Shirke
always posed problems.
Abhishek,
Dilip Shirke’s son says his seniors misunderstood him and the family is
considering abetment complaint.
Vilas
Joshi’s twin daughters are too young to comprehend what is going on.
Two
tragedies, two funerals on the same evening...
Dilip
Shirke’s last rites performed by his eldest son at Kherwadi crematorium and Vilas
Joshi’s by his younger siblings at Chandanwadi with a full guard of honour.
Both
leave behind weeping widows scarred for life.
Shirke
attended a family wedding a few days ago and Joshi was planning a pilgrimage
with wife and children soon but now it is all over.
Shirke
was the sole bread earner of the family and now his children are unsure of the
future.
Joshi
also was the sole bread earner of the family and his wife has to still recover
shock.
If only the wheel can
be turned, if choices can be revisited, there would be no tragedies, no
