Mumbai Attacks
Date attracted international attention during the November 2008 Mumbai attacks because of his actions resisting terrorists at the Cama and Albless Hospital for women and children, where he was seriously wounded. Responding to Date's call to Police Headquarters for backup, Ashok Kamte, Hemant Karkare, Vijay Salaskar and four constables were ambushed en route by two terrorists. The three officers and three constables were killed quickly; the surviving constable reported the events to representatives of the press. The wounded Date was eventually successfully evacuated for medical attention.
