Rumor has it that he went into hiding because after the interview, he started getting these strange messages that he's...
...just kidding.
Anyways, his full name is
Abhijit Iyer-Mitra
& last year after his infamous goof-up that left all Indians humiliated - he wrote an article for
The Print

Around the same time, he was interviewed. Funny thing..., in the YouTube clip he is fully aware of the type of F-16's the PAF used and the choice of Engines. So sure, that he was able to tell the difference in design of the GE & P&W.

In the article (above link), he refers to the PAF F-16's as the ' American General Electric F-16.' in the 1st Answer.
This is a video of, I believe the same interview...
Note: Guys, this Vlog was done a day after Operation Swift Retort. So the take aways are...
1. It was exactly the next after his appearance on India Today with Rahul.
2. Abhinandan was still in Pakistan.
So, at the time no one knew what had happened. There were rumors that a JF-17 shot down the MiG-21 and all that. So, some of his remarks may appear odd, but keep in mind...
This...thing, is also on Twitter:
