Lucky Bisht Explained
Laxman Lucky Bisht, also known as Lucky Bisht,[7] is a NSG commando and intelligence operative.[8] He served as a personal bodyguard to politicians such as Tarun Gogoi, L. K. Advani, Chandrababu Naidu, Rajnath Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.[9] In 2009, Bisht earned the title of India's Best NSG Commando.[10] [11] In 2011, he faced allegations in connection with the twin murders of Raju Pargai and Amit Arya and was subsequently jailed. He was acquitted of all charges in 2018 due to insufficient evidence. Following this, he left the special forces to pursue a career in the Hindi film industry.
Early life and military career
Bisht was born in Gangolihat, Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand. His grandfather died in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.[12] [13] He completed his early education at Kendriya Vidhyalaya No. 5, Mansarovar, Jaipur,[14] and joined the special forces at the age of 16 in 2003.[15] He underwent two and a half years of training in espionage and commando tactics in Israel.[16]
Bisht served as the security officer for Narendra Modi during his tenure as Chief minister of Gujarat.[17] In 2022, he was interviewed by Hussain Zaidi about his life,[18] career and experiences as an intelligence operative for the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).[19] [20] Bisht was part of the security detail for US President Barack Obama[21] during his visit to India on 8 November[22] 2010. He has worked with various government security agencies, including the National Security Guard, Indian Army, Research and Analysis Wing, Special Forces and Assam Rifles, leading missions across multiple countries.[23] [24] [25] [26]
Indian Film Industry
Bisht made his entry into the Indian film industry as a writer in 2019.[27] [28] [29] A book on his life, titled R.A.W. Hitman: The Real Story of Agent Lima,[30] [31] was published by Simon & Schuster on 4 July 2023 in the United States[32] and on 6 July 2023 in India.[33] [34] Authored by Hussain Zaidi,[35] [36] [37] the book became a bestseller within three weeks.[38] [39] [40] Its foreword was penned by Neeraj Kumar, former Delhi Police Chief.[41] [42] [43] [44] [45] This publication is the second book by Simon & Schuster on an Indian individual,[46] [47] following Sachin Tendulkar.[48]
Controversy
Bisht faced accusations for the assassination of Raju Pargai and Amit Arya.[49] [50] On 5 September 2011, the Uttarakhand Police charged him with a double murder charge.[51] [52] He spent over three years in jail, being transferred to 11 different facilities during this period.[53] He was released on 11 March 2015.[54] [55] Ultimately, the Nainital district court acquitted him on 6 March 2018 due to a lack of evidence.[56] [57] Bisht rejoined the Special Forces in 2018 and retired in 2019 before venturing into Bollywood later that year.[58] [59]
