I have lost my husband, but no one else should suffer a painful death like him,” said Aparna Jadhav, whose spouse, Sameer Jadhav, a constable attached to the Dindoshi police station, died after kite manja slit his neck while he was on his bike at Vakola on December 24. She also demanded the strictest punishment for sellers of Chinese or nylon manja. Jadhav’s father revealed that his son had attempted to crack the police exam twice but failed. After this, he didn’t eat for 15 days; however, he never gave up, succeeding the third time.
I am proud of my husband, whose dream was to be a police officer. He joined the police force in 2011 only to help people receive justice. Police duty was his number one priority. If I get the chance, I will also join the police department to continue his dream,” Aparna said.
