On 27th of May 1999 Pakistan shot down two Indian jets.
A mig-21 flown by Squadron leader Ajay Ahuja.
A Mig-27 flown by Flight lieutenant Nachikata.
Ajay Ahuja got killed and Nachikata was captured.
The dead body of Ahuja was returned to India and so was the POW Nachikata.
The interesting part is that both planes were shot down by Pakistani ground troops using shoulder mounted Anza missiles.
India being India took many years to accept that two of their jets were shot down by Pakistan even without the involvement of PAF.
They were so hell bent on hiding the loos of two jets by the hands of Pakistani ground troops that the Dead body of the Deceased pilot wasn't shown to his relatives and disposed as per Hindu traditions in a hurry.
The POW was never allowed to fly a fighter jet again and was suspended from flying for six years. When he was allowed back to fly, he flew transport planes.
His crime was to praise Pakistan for humane treatment.

History is repeating itself.
Once again after 20 years Pakistan shot down two Indian jets.
Same as 1999 the date was 27th but a different month.
Same as 1999 one pilot was taken POW and another dead.
Same as 1999 India is denying two losses and accepting one as out of options. The pilot of the Indian jet himself was the proof as POW.
Same as 1999 India is not accepting the shooting down of second plane.
Same As 1999 the returned POW will be disgraced and won't be allowed to fly for a long time and his career as a fighter pilot will end.
Same as 1999 his crime will be to praise Pakistan for humane treatment.
But unlike 1999 we may still have their second pilot and awaiting India to own up the loss of their second jet.
