In this podcast, students and professors of Jamia Millia Islamia University and residents of Batla House tell The Quint their version of what they saw during the encounter and how it changed people’s perceptions. Tune in!

Operation Batla House

On 13 September 2008, five bombs exploded in various parts of Delhi between 6 pm and 6:30 pm. Indian Mujahideen, a terrorist organisation, took responsibility for it.

Six days later, a team of seven members of the Delhi police, led by Special Cell inspector Mohan Chand Sharma, carried out – Operation Batla House. Inspector Sharma, who was also injured in the incident, later succumbed to his injuries.
