He overpowered Kasab and was instrumental in capturing him alive. Ombale would later die of his injuries.

Sensing trouble, Mhonbeni ran back 4-5 km through the thick forests all alone to the village to call for help. She said her love for her grandmother gave her the courage to travel all the distance alone as saving her was her only concern that acted as a driving force.
