External Affairs National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, speaking at the convocation of IIT Roorkee, recalls an earlier Sikkim intelligence crisis from when he was a young Indian Police Service (IPS) officer.
Doval says he was in his twenties and new to intelligence work when he was posted to Sikkim. He also refers to the fate of those involved, stating that “they are in Chinese custody,” indicating the individuals were held by authorities in China.
The coverage focuses on Doval’s personal account rather than newly reported investigative details, with the central emphasis on his recollection of the episode and the custody status he attributes to China. Across the reporting provided, the framing centers on the background of Doval’s early career role in the region and his remarks about where the people in question are held.
