A former Indian military captain has unveiled off late a new behind the scene story to add to the prelude of Pakistani surrender in 1971, sketching the first moments of the victors' interactions with the defeated Pakistani forces.

Indian army’s retired Lt Gen Nirbhay Sharma said, as a young captain, he stepped into Dhaka city as part of advanced victor troops as he recently came up with a write-up that revealed little known story of the events of the first hours of December 16, 1971.

According to Sharma, who later served as India’s governor of Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram, he along with a fellow captain were the first Indian soldiers to enter “Dacca” through the Mirpur Bridge to make their way to Pakistan’s military headquarters.
