He Hunted Down Hizb Commander Mustafa Khan: An Untold Story. A 1971 War Veteran. A decorated BSF commander. A counter-insurgency warrior. And at 77, a World Record holder. What does it take to remain fearless for more than five decades? Meet *Major K.S. Sood (Retd)* — former Indian Army officer and former DIG, BSF — whose remarkable military career took him from the *1971 War* to some of the most intense counter-militancy operations in Jammu & Kashmir. During his BSF tenure in J&K, Major Sood was instrumental in an operation in **July 2001 that neutralized Hizb-ul-Mujahideen commander Mustafa Khan**. The significance of the operation can be gauged from the enormous public turnout at Mustafa Khan's funeral, which was attended by **around 40,000 mourners**. But this is only one chapter of an extraordinary life. Commissioned into *15 Punjab (Patiala) in 1967**, Major Sood participated in the **1971 War as an Air Photo Interpreter at HQ 1 Corps**. He later joined the BSF in 1975 and commanded BSF battalions in **Lal Chowk, Srinagar, Kokernag and Magam* during the peak of militancy. He was subsequently honoured with the **Police Medal for Gallantry**. And then came a completely different kind of challenge. At *77 years of age**, Major Sood trekked to **Mount Everest Base Camp* with his two daughters and granddaughter — three generations trekking together in what his profile describes as a World Record.
