R&AW chief offered to resign for failure to prevent 26/11 attack

On the evening of November 27, 2008, the day after the heinous terrorist attack known as 26/11 occurred in Mumbai, Ashok Chaturvedi, secretary of the Research and Analysis Department (R&AW), met with the then Prime Minister Manmohan. Singh, and offered to resign because he failed to prevent multiple terrorist attacks that resulted in 166 deaths and 293 injuries.

By participating in the response to Pakistan’s terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and most likely under the approval of the country’s spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence Service (ISI), the Hindustan Times learned that Chaturvedi approached the Intelligence Agency. (IB)’s multi-agency center sent R&AW) for Mumbai police to disseminate and take action. Specific alerts were sent to the IB by the then joint secretary (international liaison) Anil Dhasmana; these alerts were prepared with the help of agencies such as the CIA and Mossad in Israel.

The R&AW alert lists possible targets by name, including Nariman House. On November 20, 2008, the agency also issued an alert to the Indian Navy and the Coast Guard when they were participating in the Gujarati defensive war exercise on the high seas of the Katyawa Peninsula regarding the invading vessel Al Husseini’s departure from KT in Karachi. Depart from Bandar.

The ship gave the latitude and longitude of the anchor in the alert and was not intercepted on the high seas. The terrorists then used the hijacked trawler MV Kuber to reach the outskirts of Mumbai Port on that decisive day.
