Codename Stallion | Based on First-Hand Encounters with Militancy | The True Story of the Hunt for a Dreaded Terrorist by one of India’s Top Super Cop - Aloke Lal IPS & Maanas Lal
Terai, Uttar Pradesh, 1990: Militants have found refuge in the region in the wake of tightened security in Punjab. To force the local population into submission, militants have killed innocent civilians, policemen and suspected informers. Gunfights, bomb blasts and bank robberies are the order of the day. It is against this backdrop that Aloke Lal is posted as the Superintendent of Police. He has to take the locals into confidence, flush out the hiding militants and maintain law and order in the area—amidst the government in denial, forthcoming elections, inadequate resources and dropping morale of men. Lal faces the militants and their dreaded leader—codenamed Mark Stallion. As he closes in on him and his inner circle, the cloud of Lal’s transfer looms. Will the victims of this reign of terror ever get justice? Based on true events, Codename Stallion revolves around the hunt for a dreaded militant leader. From perilous raids to nail-biting interrogations and attempts on Lal’s life, the book is an account of one of India’s top super cop's personal experiences during militancy in UP in the nineties.
