A Black Cat commando has appealed to the Supreme Court to exempt him from surrender in a dowry case, citing that he served during Operation Sindoor and was a part of the Black Cat commando unit of India’s National Security Guard (NSG) for the past 20 years.

The apex court, however, declined to grant him an exception, saying that serving during Operation Sindoor or being a Black Cat commando does not give him immunity from committing atrocities at home.

The commando has been accused of killing his wife and was convicted by a trial court in July 2004 under section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with dowry deaths.
