He is one of the few who were involved in both the nuclear tests in 1974 and 1998. For the Operation Smiling Buddha of 1974, the Peaceful Nuclear Experiment (PNE), he had personally escorted the fissile material (plutonium) during its transportation in absolute secrecy from BARC, Mumbai, to the explosion site at Pokhran, in Rajasthan. Of course, he was totally responsible for the physics of the entire device.
