Batla House

Karnal Singh led the investigation into the Batla House encounter, and this account sets out what the case involved from inside the police effort. The book describes intelligence gathering, coordination between agencies, and the operational decisions taken during a high-risk action that became the subject of long public argument. Written as a factual record rather than a polemic, it explains procedure and evidence in enough detail for readers to follow how such investigations proceed, and acknowledges the scrutiny the case attracted. Inside the account: • First-hand narrative by the officer who headed the investigation • Explanation of intelligence work and inter-agency coordination • Context on the public and political debate that followed • Non-fiction written in plain, procedural language Relevant to readers of Indian current affairs, students of policing and public policy, and anyone interested in investigative non-fiction, available from Boipoka.
