The Indian Government considered the possibility of an anti-hijacking operation. Afghanistan was under the control of the Taliban then. In 1999, Terrorists hijacked the Indian Airlines flight 814 from Kathmandu to Delhi and took it to Kandahar, Afghanistan. This included a planned raid near the Kahuta Nuclear Facility in Pakistan during the Kargil War. Besides that SG has been part of several shelved operations over the years. Several Indian covert operations in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka required the expertise of SG. SG also performed the duty of prime ministerial security before the formation of the Special Protection group (1985). They were the first unit of the Indian military to acquire specialised training to combat terrorists who had taken possession of a sensitive public space and dealt with a hostage-like situation. The commandos that infiltrated the Golden Temple on June 6, 1984, were members of the Indian Army’s Special Group of the 56th Commando Company. He was killed using AK-47 rifles, which were only allotted to SG at the time. Although 1 PARA-SF claimed credit for this, It is generally accepted now that SG killed Bhindranwale. The unit eliminated Bhindranwale and other major Khalistan leaders through swift action. Equipped with Ak-47 rifles and night vision Goggles, SG started the operation on June 6th 1984. Like Operation Sundown, they received the help of British secret services in planning the operation. A Special Group unit came to Amritsar before the operation and planned the military action. To counter the Khalistan threat, our military apparatus initiated ‘Operation Bluestar’ (1984). They were the first armed force in India to use AK-47 rifles. She had apprehensions about the escalation of religious tensions and the risk involved.
