A real clean up needed.

There were a number of factual errors on this page

that ahujas body was badly mutilated by bullet wounds - there were only two wounds on the body that would not be enough to badly mutilate it
that helicopter gunships were bought in after the initial ac were lost - they were operating all along
ahujas body was displayed on ptv - it was nachiketa who was displayed.
some referencing and fact checks maybe put in place.

Objection

I disagree vehemently with the administrator in this case. I have written the Air Ops portion of this article and am responsible for those paras.Every para/averment has been referenced accurately. Whenever Bharat Rakshak is referred to, it is CLEARLY mentioned as such. Whoever has made the outrageous remark that this is an outright C&P job has insulted me. Please complete your review at the earliest and please inform me via email that you have done so. I am a Mirage 2000 pilot ex-7 Sqn IAF and commanded No 1 Sqn IAF (1992-94), which took active part. I was very much part of this war, if only as an advisor/planner. I have also contributed to the IAF War Diary. I have never seen the url ssbcrackexams.com/operation-safed-sagar-by-indian-air-force. In fact, this reference has copied from me/wikipedia-it is a school that trains aspiring entrants for our National Defence Academy. Moitraanak (talk) 13:41, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
