Lance Naik Mohan Nath Goswami's 3 operations mentioned in India's Most Fearless in detail
I am summarizing them all

The Torch one, you guys were talking about
On 21 August 2015, a Para-SF squad led by Capt. Dipesh Mehra was deployed to intercept terrorists near Khurmur village in north Kashmir's Handwara district. The intelligence indicated that three terrorists would meet six others who had crossed the LoC. As Capt. Mehra's squad descended the mountain on 22 August, they encountered three terrorists with AK-47 rifles at close range. A fierce firefight ensued, during which Capt. Mehra was injured.

Meanwhile, at the squad's headquarters, L. Nk Goswami and Maj. Anurag Kumar prepared for a separate mission to eliminate 6 terrorists but decided to abandon that and instead assist Capt. Mehra's squad after learning of the firefight. Goswami persuaded Maj. Kumar to redirect to Khurmur. Upon arriving, he navigated the griund pretty well and was able to take the high ground. He could not find Cap Mehra and instead of having him betray his position by asking his position on a radioset, he bravely used a flashlight to communicate with Capt. Mehra's squad, drawing enemy fire to their position under a tree. He was confident with the site he chose which gave the guys both cover and concealment. With Goswami's guidance, they killed one terrorist and safely evacuated Capt. Mehra. By morning, the remaining terrorists were neutralized, marking Operation Khurmur as a success and sending a strong message to terror camps in PoK.

Operation Liddar Panzil, where the team leader got Shaurya Chakra also and was the kind of operation I expected from 9
2 days after that torchlight wala operation was over, the same Para-SF squad in Kashmir received intelligence on August 26 about five Pakistani terrorists infiltrating the Uri sector. The terrorists had traversed difficult terrain, but one was killed by the Army's 35 Rashtriya Rifles, while the remaining four evaded capture. A Searcher Mark II drone was deployed to track them, and by early morning, it located the terrorists moving towards Baramulla. The Para-SF unit, including L. Nk Goswami and Maj. Kumar, was paradropped to a ridge near the last known location of the terrorists. Using a combination of drone guidance and Goswami being on point, the team tracked the terrorists to a cave. A fierce firefight ensued, resulting in the deaths of three terrorists. With one terrorist remaining, Goswami urged him to surrender, leading to the capture of Sajjad Ahmad, a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Ahmad's capture provided valuable intelligence on Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, and the squad returned to base with their prisoner.

Here is Major Kumar's citation
Major Anurag Kumar was leading a helicopter inserted 9 PARA (Special Forces) Team in Search and Destroy Operations in Lidder Panzal at Baramulla district of Jammu and Kashmir on 26/27 August 2015.
Post insertion, Major Anurag led his squads to the location where terrorists were last seen and organized the search. At 1400 hours on 26 August 2015, the officer observed suspicious movement behind boulders and deployed his squads before shouting a challenge which drew indiscriminate terrorist fire. Realising grave threat to his men from the ricocheting bullets, the officer risked his safety and under covering fire of Havildar Virender Singh and Naik Javid Ahmad Chopan closed in with and eliminated one terrorist. Major Anurag then established a cordon to cut off escape of remaining terrorists. At 1100 hours on 27 August 2015 one terrorist attempting to break cordon rushed out firing indiscriminately. Unmindful of the heavy fire and displaying immense courage Major Anurag engaged and shot dead the terrorist at close quarters. He further engaged one trapped terrorist in a conversation thereby assisting Naik Chopan in his apprehension.
For his exceptional tactical acumen, selflessness, inspiring leadership and courage beyond compare while eliminating two foreign terrorists and assisting in the apprehension of the third terrorist, Major Anurag Kumar is awarded “SHAURYA CHAKRA”

Now the last operation, where Goswami was killed and got the Ashok Chakra and Mahendra Singh got the Kirti Chakra

Two days after the previous mission, in some dense forest in Kupwara, six squads of Para commandos, so total 36 operators from 9 Para SF embarked on a 96-hour operation to intercept six infiltrators, guided by intelligence reports. The troops, split into two groups, lay in wait by a mountain stream. The operation involved setting Claymore mines and maintaining vigilance despite the intelligence not specifying the infiltrators' precise path. It was sort of a classic L shaped ambush covering the entire route.

At night, Lance Naik Goswami's squad detected four terrorists, leading to a tense encounter in which Goswami heroically challenged the intruders, risking exposure. As the firefight ensued, an underbarell grenade fired by the terrorists wounded two commandos who were positioned under a tree (they were hit by sharpnel), prompting Goswami and his buddy, Subedar Mahendra Singh, to rescue them under heavy fire. In the ensuing chaos, Goswami was shot twice but managed to neutralize two terrorists before collapsing. Despite his injuries, Goswami attempted to crawl towards his fallen comrades but succumbed to his wounds.

Go read the citations of the two of them also.

So what went wrong according to me in the last op (PS: I am no expert, I could be wrong so I recommend reading by yourself)
  • Inadequate Intelligence (the teams were unaware of the direction of the militants)
  • Operating in large teams in a dense area. (It's like a traffic jam in a street road) People could not space up enough in the operational area becasue their were too many of them, the reason why 36 guys split up as 6 squads moved in was because they were unaware where terrorists would come from and they wanted to cover more ground.
  • The available positions that offered enough space for the commandos to spread out and avoid being injured simultaneously by a single under-barrel grenade launcher (UBL) were already occupied by the Claymore mines, limiting their defensive options.
  • The response to the grenade attack and subsequent injuries was left to a few individuals, with Lance Naik Goswami and Havildar Mahendra Singh taking significant personal risks to evacuate wounded comrades. Insufficient Immediate Backup and Support in my opinion
  • Some stupid Rules of Engagement also, the requirement for the commandos to challenge the intruders before engaging is inherently risky, as it compromises their position and allows the enemy to respond first.
