'I knew this was the end of my career': Doval recalls when China captured his agents

NEW DELHI: National Security Advisor Ajit Doval 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: “We 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."
