**Colonel Sunil Luthra** is the current RAW Joint Secretary. He assigns missions to various RAW agents. Colonel Luthra has been with RAW for years.

## Timeline

In 2017, Colonel Luthra recommends Khalid Rahmani to Kabir's unit, to which Kabir was hesitant at first to do since he is the son of his former partner-turned-traitor Abdul Rahmani. After Rizwan Ilyasi came out of hiding, Luthra assigned Kabir and his team to Marrakesh. He was supposed to report this mission to the Defence Minister but Kabir specially requested to keep radio silence. Following the failure of Marrakesh Mission, Colonel Luthra came to the hospital in Marrakesh for Kabir's team.

An year later, while Kabir was on a covert operation in Italy, he informed Luthra about the ongoing mission, who then reported to his seniors including V.K. Naidu.

### Chasing Rogue Agent

Six months later, Kabir terminated V.K. Naidu and Colonel Luthra reported his betrayal to the Ministry of Defence and Kabir was declared rogue. Colonel Luthra was assigned to find a perfect person who can kill Kabir. Later he made "Khalid" (who is Saurabh in disguise), the in-charge of terminating Kabir. After Saurabh's failure at Portugal, Luthra fired him from the team that was tracking down Kabir and made Saini in-charge. After Kabir killed all the moles in the Indian Agencies, he reported back to Luthra and requested Khalid to posthumously receive credit for the mission against Ilyasi. While Kabir was on leave in Australia, Luthra tasked him with the mission of terminating Farid Haqqani.

### Beginning of JOCR

An year later, he visited the JOCR headquarters where he was supposed to make a review about the newly formed JOCR unit and give recommendations to the Defence Secretary. Pathaan requested Luthra to stay a bit longer where he informed him of an impending threat - Outfit X. The threat was supposed to be on the President at Dubai. Colonel tripled the security and altered the travel routes, just to find out the targets were the scientists who were supposed to ride along with President.

After the Dubai incident, he revealed that Jim and Kabir were among their best agents. He also told Pathaan and Nandini Grewal about Jim's past that led to the creation of Outfit X. After Pathaan was caught by Russian officials, Colonel Luthra was really furious and wanted to kill Pathaan himself, but Nandini went to Russia to negotiate and also give a secret message to Pathaan.

Two years later, Colonel Luthra recommended to blast off the CIRG research facility along with Jim and Raktbeej. But Pathaan told that if the virus wasn't completely destroyed, then it could cause catastrophe in three continents. After the successful raid at CIRG, Luthra took away the Raktbeej Orb for analysing and preparing an antidote and ordered for Rubai's arrest for interrogation. Devasted with the Raktbeej's Demo, Luthra and the Council had to negotiate with Jim. Jim asked for Kashmir within 24 hours which was virtually not possible given the small time limit. After the Raktbeej was found to be on a passenger airplane, Luthra reluctantly took the decision to blow up the aircraft using a missile. At the last moment Pathaan deactivated Raktbeej and Colonel gave the order to abort the missile attack. After the JOCR team counteracted with Jim's plans, Luthra appointed Pathaan as the head of JOCR and recommended a file of more operators.
