I don't think that marcos were told it was some gang violence stuff.
Praveen said on a podcast that marcos were watching tv as everything was unfolding and were sure of the fact that it was terrorist attack and were wating for a call to go in.
Same thing was indicated by few others.
I might be wrong though.
Praveen's was the second MARCOS team which was sent, watch this

This was the first team, they helped confirm that it was not gang violence

So unkown gunmen are SG?
Even CIA do not use its special operations elements for assassination.
Its way easy to train a random individual with required skill to carry out such attacks.

If R&AW is letting SG or some permanent element carry out such attack then thats quite dumb.

Imagine a sg operator gets captured by ISI.
So much sensitive info could be leaked , not just about attack but also about the entire sg and special operations pipeline.

SG has carried out operations which were later claimed by army units.
If they wanted SG to carry out 2016 raids then they could have let them do it and have some other unit claim the op.
I dont think sg was ever going to carry out that operation.
I've never heard SG doing some mission and some one else taking credit. Execpt for Bluestar

Well how many SG operations are out there in public ?Only very few.
Bluestar is good enough example to convince me.

Tell me, if SG was the first choice to carry out the raid then they could have simply done so and army could have claimed that they did it.
That is the dumbest thing that dont make any sense to me .
Govt and army had complete control over flow of information after those raids.
There was no reason for 9 to go in.

Also its funny to see that some people still believe the secret stash theory .
You are telling me that we know what kind of gear CIA SAD use but units under DG security are so secretive that we don't know about their gear.
Lol ok.

9 was'nt in the raid, it was 1 Para and was lead by Lt Gen (then Major) PC Katoch who got Shaurya Chakra for that too.
And yes SG was the first choice becuase Operation Sundown predates Operation Bluestar

My opinion only: The Raid had over 200+ Combatants from ourside in total. Recon + Attacking Force + Blocking Force -

The greatest skill set on display was traversing Inhospital terrain, quickly and quietly. A host of Indian Army Conventional Troops have that capability - not the perview of SOF units only.

The Final Mission was a Seak and Destroy mission - no SSE or Battlefield interrogation or HVT rendition etc etc.

It was a classic Commando Op - no need for SG's skill set at all whatsoever.

Ya secret stash is kind of stupid. Considering what we've seen of intel agency based SMU's they dont use too much gucci gear, instead it's mostly what locals use. SG had AKs, VZs, MP-5s and CAR-15s back in the 80s and 90s when the rest of army got SLRs and sterlings, even SF. So taht might be why this came out.

I dont know man..with the sex scandal..with lack of even parachutes forget proper equipment and i dont know what motivation for combat they are trained daily i would very diplomatically say that..

if i am held hostage i would prefer 9 para rescue me anyday
SFF don't train for Hostage scenarios that extensively, their Hostage Rescue training is equivalent to ghataks of inf.

The SCTU or whatever it is called has a decent kit though, have heard about block 2 m4a1s and much more on weapons on the lines of NSG's top men teams. @NoobWannaLearn can you confirm this?

No one actually believes this secret stash theory he himself has been very critical about their gear and I from day have trusted those theories their gear is more or less the same just few scars and better setup on sigs and x95s this was more about their mission profile
