On New Year’s Eve 2015, a
group of terrorists from Pakistan infiltrated into Punjab, India. Their
aim – to attack the frontline Pathankot Airbase, destroy defence assets
and kill as many Indian citizens as possible.
Avinash Kaul COO Network18 and MD A+E Networks | TV18 said
“Special Operations: India, Pathankot is yet another tale of valour
showcasing the grit and mettle of the Indian Armed Forces. These India
productions help add new dimension to our programming, by making
high-voltage, contemporary stories come alive through
first person narratives of people directly involved. Such shows, with
stellar production values and new-age storytelling, have clearly
established HISTORY TV18 as the leader in Factual Entertainment in
India”
Following a police
report, Indian Intelligence agencies intercept calls made by the
terrorists and take measures to pre-empt an attack. The sprawling
2,000-acre Indian Air Force station at Pathankot goes on a
red alert. After lying hidden for almost 24 hours, the terrorists are
spotted. The hunt begins.
History TV18 presents
the true story of the Counter Terror Operation as it unfolded, with
“Special Operations India: Pathankot” on Monday, 25th June 2018.
This one hour documentary based on true events, is the
third film in the “Special Operations India” limited series. The first
two, were the path-breaking features about India’s Surgical Strikes in
Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and the Indian Special Forces action on
insurgent camps in Myanmar.
At Pathankot, the Garud
Commando Force - the IAF’s first line of defence - along with the
National Security Guard (NSG) - India’s elite federal contingency force -
were called upon to neutralize the terrorist
threat, in a counter terror operation on home soil. The documentary
recreates the mission - to hunt down and eliminate the Fidayeen
terrorists - in dramatic action sequences, with authenticity and little
known facts.
Indian Special Forces
successfully prevented the terrorists from damaging air force assets.
Civilians on the base were also kept safe. But there was a price. Brave
Indian defence personnel made the ultimate sacrifice
in the line of duty. This is as much their story.
The tense narrative
follows India’s Garud and NSG Commandos in their mission to stop the
suicide attackers. The story is pieced together, with new findings and
first-hand accounts of the men, who fought to protect
the airbase.
Ajit Doval - National
Security Advisor to the Govt of India, Air Marshal S.B Deo - Vice Chief
of Air Staff, Manohar Parrikar – Former Defence Minister, IAF Group
Captain V. Badoni, Squadron Leader - Garud Commando
Force, IAF Squadron Leader - Yashu Bhardwaj and Nitin Gokhale - Defence
Analyst and Author, tell the compelling story in their own words, with
rare insights.
Details of the operation - of what transpired behind the scenes, the trials, setbacks and triumphs - emerge, as never before.
This is the definitive
account of an Indian military op that is a major event in the history of
India’s fight against cross border terrorism.
