'Serving During Op Sindoor Doesn't Give You Immunity': SC To Commando Accused Of Killing Wife
Last Updated:
A Black Cat commando sought Supreme Court exemption from surrender in a dowry case, citing Operation Sindoor service. The court declined, noting his wife's death conviction.
A Black Cat commando has appealed to the Supreme Court to exempt him from surrender in a dowry case, citing that he served during Operation Sindoor and was a part of the Black Cat commando unit of India's National Security Guard (NSG) for the past 20 years.
The apex court, however, declined to grant him an exception, saying that serving during Operation Sindoor or being a Black Cat commando does not give him immunity from committing atrocities at home.
The commando has been accused of killing his wife and was convicted by a trial court in July 2004 under section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with dowry deaths.

Op Sindoor was a response; shun double standards on terrorism—Ajit Doval's message at SCO meeting of NSAs
Sources in the security establishment said the NSA emphasised that Operation Sindoor was launched in response to the 'barbaric terror attack on 22 April 2025 in Pahalgam, J&K, in which TRF (The Resistance Front), a proxy of LeT, killed 26 Indian & Nepalese nationals and injured several others after segregating them based on religion'. Ajit Doval said that India was deeply concerned about continued threats from groups designated by the United Nations Security Council as terror outfits, including Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Al Qaeda and its affiliates, and ISIS and its affiliates. New Delhi: National Security Adviser Ajit Doval Tuesday briefed his counterparts attending the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting in Beijing on Operation Sindoor, underlining the need to shun 'double standards' on terrorism, which included cross-border attacks. He said that the operation was to dismantle terror infrastructure and deter terrorists likely to be sent across the border into India. 'India's actions were measured and non-escalatory,' he was quoted as saying. The sources said Ajit Doval also highlighted the need to shun double standards in the fight against terrorism and take decisive actions against the UN-proscribed terrorists and entities, such as LeT, JeM and their proxies, to dismantle their terror eco-systems. The NSA also reiterated that any act of terror, including cross-border terrorism, was a crime against humanity. India called on the SCO members to hold accountable the perpetrators, organisers, financiers, and sponsors of acts of cross-border terror and to help bring them to justice. Ajit Doval also requested support from the heads of delegations for several important Indian proposals, including the Algorithm of Joint Actions, to counter challenges posed by international terrorist organisations, including Al Qaeda & its affiliates. The NSA also sought the need for measures to counter radicalisation that led to terrorism, separatism, and extremism. Ajit Doval also stressed that Joint Information Operation would be key to counter extremist ideology.
