Ajit Doval recalls China custody episode: \u2018I knew this was the end of my career\u2019<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

NEW DELHI: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval<\/a> on Saturday recalled one of the most difficult moments of his early career, when a group of operatives sent across the border went missing and were later found to be in Chinese custody.Speaking as the chief guest at the two-day convocation ceremony of IIT Roorkee, NSA Doval said he was deeply worried after receiving no information about the group’s whereabouts.He said: \u201cWe got no reports of any avalanche or anything. It was a matter of deep worry and concern. But I got a telephone call from the headquarters, and my boss told me, “Have you sent some people across?” I said, “I do not know. They must be coming. They should have come in five or six days, but now it is about ten or eleven days.” He said, “They are in Chinese custody now.” They were caught by the Chinese and interrogated. Anyway, the Chinese returned them, probably after some talks or negotiations, or a deal must have been struck. So, they returned totally shattered, in shambles. And an inquiry was started. I knew that this was the end of my career. I was still in my twenties, and I had to start a new career. I saw the incident as something very unprofessional.\u201dDoval said an inquiry was later conducted and he was not held responsible for the incident.\u201cAnyway, the inquiry was over. I wasn’t found at fault. Probably, I had done everything right. The sketches and the maps that were given to us by the headquarters had some defects and mistakes in them. That is how it happened,” the NSA added.<\/p>\n
