Nagpur, Nov 26: Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, who is under attack from saffron brigade, has received appreciation from none other than his senior and former Maharashtra Director General of Police Arvind Inamdar.

"He is a good and upright officer, a law enforcing officer and has a good track record," Inamdar told reporters here yesterday at the inaugural function of Jaanta Raja's theatre group office.

Inamdar, however declined to comment on the Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur case and criticism of police investigation saying, "these are subjudice matters."

"We have worked together and I know him well," he replied to a reporters question.
