Bollywood Movie TE3N is a suspense thriller set in Kolkata. Industry’s best actors Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui coming together in one film. There are three interesting facts about Movie TE3N which refers to the numerical number 3. 1. As the movie is set in Kolkata, it reminds me of my lifetime’s first journey, a maiden Sea Voyage of Three Days to the City of Kolkata. 2. Interestingly, this movie features a scene in which a framed portrait of my Indian Army Photo ID Card is displayed. The Indian Army Photo ID I had on Tuesday, January 25, 1972, the day I visited Kolkata and during the Liberation War of Bangladesh was different from the photo image featured in movie TE3N. The photo image shown in movie TE3N in June 2016 was from photo image of February 1972 that was taken after my posting to Doom Dooma, Tinsukia District, Assam. 3. As a survivor of childhood abduction, the theme of movie TE3N is of great interest to me for it involves the suspense associated with the effort to find the child abductor.

The Failure of Intelligence Gathering Mission at Vikas Regiment, Special Frontier Force
The term ‘intelligence’ is used to describe government operations that involve evaluation of information concerning the strength, activities, and probable course of action of its opponents. Espionage involves the gathering of ‘intelligence’ information which is further used in evaluation to design a political or a military course of action to deter the enemy. Radug Ngawang had exposed his participation in espionage by releasing the following photo images that were taken at Establishment No. 22/Special Frontier Force during 1971-1975 prior to his dismissal from Service in 1976. He clearly understands that the possession of these images is illegal and he is fully aware of the fact that the people shown in the images had no clue that they were being secretly photographed and did not know that the photo images will be released without official permission.
The assassination of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on August 15, 1975. Why India failed to defend his life?
I returned to Chakrata, India during the last week of January 1972 after the successful conclusion of Operation Eagle that initiated the Liberation of Bangladesh with military action in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. During February 1972, I had the opportunity to take part in the training of a National Security Force (Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini) whose mission was very clear from the beginning. There was an utter sense of urgency and earnestness to defend the personal life of Bangabandhu Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as our intelligence information discovered a plot getting brewed by a few Bangladesh Army Officers who were not satisfied with Bangabandhu’s vision for a modern, democratic nation of Bangladesh.
In February 1972, the training of the National Defence Force (Jatiyo Rakkhi Bahini) commenced in Establishment 22, near Chakrata. I have direct personal insight of the training of Mujib Bahini before the 1971 War and of JRB in 1972 after the War.
