On reaching the site, he instructed the Combat Air Patrol (CAP) aircraft to confirm sanitization and scan intensely for any threat. Upon confirmation, he initiated spiral decent and landing in a safe direction considering the threat, obstructions, and winds. After landing the helicopter was held the light on wheels as the main wheels were sinking into the ground. Expeditious evacuation of total 08 casualties was carried out along with 02 MRs and 01 dead body of Naxal.

He skillfully maneuvered his helicopter to getaway in the safe direction away from the unidentified persons and the hillock near the landing site, where the presence of Naxals was confirmed. Both helicopters safely landed back at Jagdalpur.
For the act of exceptional courage, disregarding his personal safety in a very hostile combat zone, Wg Cdr Bibhu Dutta SK Jenamani has been awarded Vayu Sena Medal (Gallantry).
