In [[Anerood Jugnauth#1982 elections and first tenure as prime minister|February 1983]], [[Mauritians|Mauritian]] Prime Minister [[Anerood Jugnauth]] requested assistance from Mrs Indira Gandhi in the event of a coup by rival politician [[Paul Bérenger]]. In March 1983, Gandhi ordered the Indian Army and Navy to prepare for a military intervention against a possible coup against the Jugnauth government. But the military intervention was put off by Mrs. Gandhi, after a squabble between the Indian Navy and Army, on who would lead the operation. Instead, she chose to task the Research and Analysis Wing's then chief, Nowsher F. Suntook, with supervising a largely intelligence-led operation to reunite the Indian community of [[Mauritius]] whose fracturing along ideological and communal lines had allowed Mr. Berenger to mount a political challenge.<ref>{{cite book|author=David Brewster|url=https://www.academia.edu/7992843|title=India's Ocean: the Story of India's Bid for Regional Leadership.
