When Mumbai’s attacks in 2008 accused Tahawwur Hussain Rana landed in Delhi on Thursday after his extradition of the United States, CNN-News18 spoke with Maj Gen (RETD) ABHAY GUPTA, who directed a national in a national in a national security save safety keeping guard in a national security security of National Security Security in a national security security in a national security security. To the terrorist strike.
“The first memory I get is a feeling of horror because we enter all these buildings and hotels, it was what is called Bloodbath,” said Maj Gen Gupta. “There were signs of that special in the Taj Hotel area in Mumbai near the pool and the runners around that in the Oberoi to the dining areas from where people had escaped and subsipally.
When the attacks begged, said the biggest GUPTA gene, he was in Dehradun. “But my subordinate, who was official of operations commands … I got in touch. I began to approve instructions from there. There was a delay factor in the government’s decision -making system, after which the orders were transmitted to Mr. Dutt (then Chief of NSG) to mobilize.” Then they charged and moved. “
Unfortunately, he recalled, there is a toll between Manesar and Delhi. “Once the Local Police authorized us and clear the road, the bottleneck in that tok of Tollgate quite a long time. We were there at Palam airport, somewhere around 1.32 at night. And the air force plane was fed according to the parameters.” It may be worth remembering that Mr. (Shivraj) was the Minister of Origin … accompanied by Mr. Dutt … all of them, and landed in Bombay. They were then transported by the bus, and Mr. Dutt and other Wrte Toter Terter Thamequaarter, at the site around 6 in the morning … between 6 and 6.30, the frames, the Navy commands … Of them, the situation was tasks and the NSG operation began. “
When asked about the speed with which the government of the day reacted, Maj Gen Gupta said it was according to the procedure. “The Maharashtra government initially approached the military authorities there, to the local authorities. They told him to seek the authorization told from the moment of the moment, the police evaluation stressed, and it was an Attat of terrorist Atlores. Handling it would be the terrorist force against the force that is NSG,” he said.
The “punctual person” of the attacks was David Headley, while the one who pulled the strings was frog, said Maj Gen Gupta. “And the people who then threw ropes for both of them were sitting in Pakistan, whether terrorists or,” he said. “We know that the victims who suffered at the hands of the 10 terrorists and their relatives still lament the day Headley came and made a reche, which was completely supported and guided by frog. Then (the roles of Rana and Headley) were very crucial, and we as NSG saw this when we found the terrorists in the hotels in Chabad.
Similarly, it was the situation at the Taj hotel, he said. “We saw barricades made with tables and other things, behind which they played the position and continued shooting,” said Maj Gen Gupta.
And what lessons did India learn? “To give an example, the police force immediately prepared for theaterrorism and in NSG we also trained the police in command operations,” said Maj Gen Gupta. “Applications were sent to us, and in turn, we taught that additional step, and we sent training equipment to Punjab, Rajasthan and other places, as well as we increased its assignment of seats in our information courses … I requested to the Halise Halise Halise Hazy Hazy Hazada Hazada Hanised Hanised.”
The second thing, he said, was surveillance within Mumbai. “Greater place of consciousness in this regard. In the same way, if you see the coast, coastal security was reinforced, as well as the police and the measures of the measures were tasks there,” he said.
As for Headley, it is a group, said Maj Gen GUPTA, his testimony is in the public domain as it cools in the US courts.
