Ajit Doval
Doval, now the National Security Advisor to PM Narendra Modi, started out with the Kerala cadre as an IPS officer in the 1968 batch. He was involved in the anti-insurgency operations in Mizoram and Punjab in the late 1960s. Later, he also participated in the release of passengers from IC-814 in Kandahar in 1999. After joining the Modi-cabinet, he was one of the top minds who strategized the surgical strike after Uri attack in 2016 and also the Balakot airstrike in February this year after the Pulwama attack.

Doval served as the Director of the Intelligence Bureau in 2004–05. He also spent a decade as the head of the operation wing of the Intelligence Bureau. In 1988, when he was still an IPS officer, he was conferred with Kirti Chakra by the Indian government, one of the highest gallantry awards in the country and also a rare honor for an IPS officer.
Moreover, actor Paresh Rawal has already played the character based on Ajit Doval in Aditya Dhar’s successful film Uri: The Surgical Strike that featured Vicky Kaushal in the lead.
