New Delhi: Indian Air Force (IAF) Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who is currently being held captive by Pakistan, will be released tomorrow. The announcement was made by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
“Yesterday I tried to call (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi to say that we don’t want escalation. Our push for de-escalation doesn’t mean we are afraid. We have an Indian pilot. As a peace gesture, we will release him tomorrow.” Imran Khan said.
Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman was captured yesterday after an aerial combat between Indian and Pakistani fighter planes.
Before his capture, he shot down two Pakistani pilots and hit an F-16 jet, said the government.
