Since you have landed on this page, True Scoop assumes that you have already watched the series on JioHotstar and wondering about 'Dubai Princess in Goa' reference.
Notably, characters in Special Ops 2 mentions about R&AW's mission in vague manner that says 'Dubai Princess in Goa' At first, a cyber intelligence officer asks Himmat Singh played by Kay Kay Menon whether they should carry out rescue operation like they did in the 'Dubai Princess' case or not?

Notably, in both the cases, Himmat Singh said that R&AW did not carry out any operation in the particular case.
Well, True Scoop tried to cross check it on Google and it received a hit.
As per NDTV report published in 2018, a Dubai royal was "kidnapped" off the coast of Goa. She was taken back to the UAE with the help of India. The report gave credit to French-American national Herve Jaubert who was also accompanying her. Jaubert had informed that he was also taken back to the United Arab Emirates and was detained for days before his release.
The name of the Dubai Princess who was sent back was Sheikha Latifa. Sheikha Latifa is said to be the daughter of the Prime Minister of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
As per reports, the former French intelligence officer, was reportedly helping the member of Dubai's royal family make the dramatic escape due to alleged torture and ill-treatment by her father, which was recorded in this statement.
In this video statement put out after his release, Jaubert described in vivid detail how the Indian Coast Guard took over his yacht Nostromo on March 4. UAE had deported Dawood aide Farooq Taqla four days later, on March 8.
