Beside this point if Mumbai or any police wants some heavy calibre stuff then so be it -- even NYC police is suspected to have antiplane missile aka stinger etc so why cant police have same calibre weapon/ Especially when the bad guys are upgrading their weapons and outgunning the police. Even with concern of plausible collateral damage these guys can hopefully can be better prepared and armed. Remember such statements are also some kind of cyber warfare warning the bad guys that city is prepared.

however, the core problem is that the issue of the ages that is corruption, pride,upmanship political interference etc prevents from doing a good job. we can not compare mumbai police with the MARCOS who are highly self motivated, highly selected, highly intelligent, highly valuled and so on
as to why the MARCOS are not called, is due to lack of cooperation and responsibility also one can not overstep one area of responsibility. water belongs to navy and the land to armed forces etc. in other words we are quite happy to cut our own throats.
