Ashok Kamte, the
Super Cop who died in the terror blasts was one of a growing band of
police personnel who used to play squash. Mahendra Agarwal, Founder
Director of ISP recalls how Kamte used to play the sport and how he
had met him along with the late Raju Chainani at the CCI. Kamte, a 1989 batch IPS officer, and a third generation policeman — his great-grandfather was in the police force, his grandfather Ganpatrao |
Kamte was the first
Indian to rise to the rank of the police chief (Inspector General in the
Imperial Police of Bombay) and his father was a Colonel in the Army,
was one of the brightest in the police force . Twice, he was sent on
UN peace missions, in Bosnia for a year (1998-99) and later in Somalia for 2
years.
Ashok Kamte attended Kodaikanal International School for five years, graduating from 12th grade with the Class of 1982. He had been an international scholarship recipient at Camp Rising Sun in 1980. He completed his bachelor's degree from St. Xavier's College, Bombay graduating in 1985 and post graduate degree in Arts from St. Stephen's College, Delhi 1985-87. An accomplished athlete, he represented India at the junior power-lifting championship in Peru in 1978. Other sports which he keenly liked were Squash, Tennis, Shot Put, Javelin throw & Shooting.
His one repeated Motto
which his good friend Ashish would never forget: WORK HARD, PLAY HARD &
