Policemen indicted by a special court for running away instead of fighting the terrorists during the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai are likely to face action. <br/> <br/>Police Commissioner D Sivanandan said he has read media reports which stated that the honourable judge had criticised some police personnel of Azad Maidan Police Station in South Mumbai for not acting properly in stopping the terrorists during the terror attacks. He said, after going through the judgement, appropriate action will be taken against erring officials. <br/> <br/>Judge M L Tahaliyani, while delivering the judgement in the 26/11 case, had severely criticised some policemen, including officers, for their inaction during the assault. He had noted that instead of coming to the aid of Additional Commissioner Sadanand Date, who engaged the terrorists in a gunfight at Cama Hospital and got injured, some policemen possibly ran away and did not fight the militants. The police station is just a stone's throw away from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus and Cama Hospital, where Ajmal Kasab and his companion Abu Ismail killed several people. <br/>
