evidence: Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander Abhinandan — who was captured by Pakistan after his MiG 21 Bison aircraft was shot down by a Pakistan Air Force (PAF) jet — was handed over in a gesture of peace to India at the Wagah border late Friday. [...] Thousands of Indians gathered at Wagah, waving flags, clutching sweets and garlands, playing drums, brandishing paintings and signs calling for peace, to welcome Wg Cdr Abhinandan. An old man with a white beard banged a drum as groups of young men sang and danced. [...] The last time an Indian pilot was captured by Pakistan, in 1999, the Red Cross (ICRC) had met Flight Lieutenant K. Nachiketa at the FO in Islamabad before escorting him to the Indian High Commission overnight. He left for India that same day.
