During a covert operation in early 20s, disguised as brainwashed jihadi, then Maj Sangram and Capt Vikas stayed with LeT terrorists in their camp in a jungle for 4 days.
During this covert operation, they gathered a tremendous amount of information and killed all 4 terrorists. The Indian Army broke down the LeT netwrk using that information. Terrorists were so terrorised that they were always on the run thereafter.
