NEW DELHI/ATTARI: Wing Commander
Abhinandan Varthaman returned to a hero's welcome
from his country late on Friday, almost 60 hours after he was dramatically taken captive in PoK after being shot down while chasing an intruding Pakistani F-16.
Abhinandan arrived in India after an agonising day-long wait via the Wagah-Attari border, after Pakistan rejected India’s request to allow IAF to fly him in a special aircraft.
Abhinandan finally crossed the border around 9.25pm to enter India. He was received by his parents and senior IAF officers. Dressed in a blue blazer and grey trousers, he was accompanied to the border by
Group Captain
Joy Thomas Kurien, India’s air attache in Islamabad, and by a director of the Pakistan Foreign Office
