Unconfirmed videos which show the Mig-21 pilot captured by Pakistan being beaten up by locals immediately after the crash have emerged on social media.
Earlier in the day, Islamabad had claimed to have shot down two Indian fighter jets and captured more than one Indian pilot. A pilot in Pakistan’s custody has reportedly been identified as Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.
Interestingly, no wounds are visible on his face in the video which shows the pilot being captured and dragged by Pakistani troops.
This suggests that the pilot had landed in Pakistani territory unhurt and was wounded when the locals attacked him up in presence of Pakistan troops.
Note: This post earlier contained a video which allegedly showed the captured pilot being attacked. It has now been removed.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
