Career
Police career
Doval joined the IPS in 1968 in the Kerala cadre. He was actively involved in anti-insurgency operations in Mizoram and Punjab.[8] Doval was one of three negotiators who negotiated the release of passengers from IC-814 in Kandahar in 1999.[8] Uniquely, he has the experience of being involved in the termination of all 15 hijackings of Indian Airlines aircraft from 1971–1999.[9] In the Headquarters, he headed IB's operations wing for over a decade and was founder Chairman of the Multi Agency Centre (MAC), as well as of the Joint Task Force on Intelligence (JTFI).[10]
Intelligence career
During the Mizo National Front (MNF) insurgency, Doval won over six of Laldenga's seven commanders. He spent long periods of time incognito with the Mizo National Army in the Arakan in Burma and inside Chinese territory. From Mizoram, Doval went to Sikkim where he played a role during the merger of the state with India.[11][12]
In Punjab he was behind the rescue of Romanian diplomat Liviu Radu.[13]. He was inside the Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1988 before Operation Black Thunder to collect critical information.[11][14]
Doval spent six years in Indian High Commission in Islamabad, Pakistan. He went to Kashmir in 1990 and persuaded militants (like Kuka Parray) to become counter-insurgents targeting hardline anti-India terrorists.[10] This set the way for state elections in Jammu and Kashmir in 1996.
After retirement (2005–2014)
Doval retired in January 2005[8] as Director, Intelligence Bureau. In December 2009, he was the founder Director of the Vivekananda International Foundation, a public policy think tank set up by the Vivekananda Kendra.[15][16][17]Doval has remained actively involved in the discourse on national security in India. Besides writing editorial pieces for several leading newspapers and journals, he has delivered lectures on India's security challenges and foreign policy objectives at several renowned government and non-governmental institutions, security think-tanks in India and abroad.

On 30 May 2014, Doval was appointed as India's fifth National Security Adviser.
In June 2014, Doval played a crucial role in ensuring secure return of 46 Indian nurses who were trapped in a hospital in Tikrit, Iraq. After the family members lost all contacts from these nurses, following the capture of Mosul by ISIS. Doval, on a top secret mission flew to Iraq on 25 June 2014 to understand the position on the ground and make high-level contacts in the Iraqi government.[22]
Although, the exact circumstances of their release are unclear, on 5 July 2014, ISIS militants handed the nurses to authorities at Erbil city and two specially arranged planes by Indian Government brought them back home to Kochi.[23]
Along with Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag, Doval planned a military operation against Indian militants operating out of Myanmar. The mission was said to be a success with 50 militant casualties.[24][25][26]
He is widely credited for the doctrinal shift in Indian security policy in relation to Pakistan, from 'Defensive' to 'Defensive Offensive'. It is speculated that India's surgical strikes in Pakistan in September 2016 were his brain child, which were extremely effective in neutralizing targets which were themselves targeting India. [27][28][29][30]
Doval was the youngest police officer ever to get the Police Medal for meritorious service.[11] He got it after six years in the police (the norm is at least 17 years' service).[11]
In 1988, Doval was awarded one of the highest gallantry awards, the Kirti Chakra, becoming the first police officer to receive a medal previously given only as a military honour.[8]
Doval is perceived as second most powerful person in India after PMNarendra Modi.

Here Are 9 Things You Should Know About Ajit Doval, India’s Spymaster And National Security Advisor
June 27, 2015 by Kunal Jain. http://www.youthconnect.in/2015/06/27/ajit-doval/
It seems that the present government is more proactive and vocal about defending our borders than the previous government. There are facts to back that claim, with civilian and security personnel deaths due to terrorism dropping sharply over the last year.
The recent surgical strike by the Indian army around the Burmese border is yet another example of government’s stand against terrorism. A few weeks before the strike, eighteen Indian soldiers were killed in an armed ambush in Manipur, where rebels attacked their convoys with RPGs and automatic rifles. The government never gave a statement and instead, decided on attacking the very heart of the enemy.
The government executed a surgical strike on the rebel camp located around the Indo-Burmese border.
According to several reports, it took the Indian army only thirty minutes, from insertion, to elimination, to exit. And 40 commandos from the deadly 21 Para regiment created history. Two teams, with MI-35 helicopters attacked two NSCN (K) camps four km deep in Myanmar and killed an estimated 30-50 rebels with surgical precision.
And behind such a daring and a dangerous attack was Ajit Doval, India’s National Security Advisor.
Doval, aged 70, is the country’s spy master and is known to send shivers down the spines of India’s enemies. Here are a few facts that you must know about our National Security Advisor:
#1. Ajit Doval is the 5th and current National Security Adviser. Doval, like any other NSA, works closely along side the Prime Minister.
Doval has previously served as the Director of the Intelligence Bureau in 2004-05, after spending a decade as the head of its operations wing. Ajit Doval is also the youngest person to win the Police Medal and the prestigious President’s Police Medal.
#2. In the 1980s, the Mizoram National Front was breaking India’s back with insurgency. Doval is renowned to have infiltrated the underground Mizo National Front, weaned away half a dozen of its top commanders and all but broke the back of the MNF.
#3. Doval spent 7 years as a secret operative in Lahore, Pakistan.
Here’s one of his stories:
#4. He was in the Golden Temple in the days leading up to the Indian Army’s Operation Blue Star. He posed as a Pakistani Spy, gained the militants plans, their intel, reinforcements available to them and various other valuable information.
#5. Doval was also India’s main negotiator with the hijackers of Indian Airlines’ flight IC-814 that was hijacked and taken to Kandahar in 1999.
He also played a role in the termination of all 15 hijackings of Indian Airlines aircraft between 1971 and 1999.
#6. In Kashmir, Doval persuaded prominent militants like Kukkay Parey, and turned himself and his colleagues into ‘moles’ in the terrorist outfit. He then pacified these anti-India outfits and turned them peaceful.
#7. Recently, Doval was responsible for getting back 45 nurses from Iraq when the nation was under fire from ISIS.
Reportedly, Doval personally went to Iraq to make sure that Indian citizens were brought back safely.
#8. Ajit Doval is also known to keep his opinions against Pakistan very vocal. Just look at this:
#9. Ajit Doval is also known to have a hand in Sri Lanka’s last Presidential elections.
Rajapaksa (L), Sirisena (R)
Apparently, Pakistan is not the only country Doval has put his sights on. If speculations are correct, former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa lost the presidential elections earlier in January this year Maithripala Sirisena as he was in the cross hairs of Doval.
Reportedly, Rajapaksa was seen as a nuisance to India as he favoured China. He unexpectedly lost the election and there is enough evidence that India played a role in assisting his departure. Reports suggest that the Colombo station chief of R&AW (Research & Analysis Wing), India’s external intelligence agency, was asked to leave. But not before he had: one, united Sri Lanka’s usually divided opposition parties to agree on a joint contender for the election; two, aided Rajapaksa’s chief aide, Sirisena to defect and stand as opposition; and three, convinced former Prime Minister, Wickremasinghe, not to contest.
***
Obviously not a lot is known about Doval given that he has been a spy, and now is the country’s National Security Advisor.
