Okay, I know this has been discussed NUMEROUS times now, but please read this ENTIRE post as it's a good video analysis / comparison:
We pretty much have three versions of events:
1) PAF shot down 1 IAF Mig-21 and that same Mig-21 took out a PAF F-16 (View supported by majority of indians)
2) PAF shot down 1 IAF Mig-21 AND 1 IAF SU-30 (View supported by majority of Pakistanis)
3) PAF shot down 1 IAF Mig-21 (View supported by a good number of people from both sides)
NOW THEN, I know most of these videos have been seen before, but PLEASE HAVE A COMPLETE LOOK at ALL of them again:
1) Clip of shootdown, in vid guy clearly says 2 parachutes there
2) Vid of witness of Abhinandan capture and complete sequence of events
3) Vid recently discovered and uploaded of INDIAN witnesses claiming how their plane went over border and CAME BACK AND CRASHED IN SHER MAKRI in IOK
4) NOW FOR THE REALLY INTERESTING clips that may have been forgotten by lots of members or may not have been seen. ANOTHER WITNESS who saw Abhinandan being captured ALONG WITH SIKH PILOT(S)
5) Full clip of Abhinandan being taken into Pak army truck and Witnesses TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER 2 CAPTURED (Part 1)
6) Full clip of Abhinandan being taken into Pak army truck and Witnesses TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER 2 CAPTURED (Part 2)
Now then, for all intents and purposes, view point number 3 about only 1 IAF mig-21 going down can be CLEARLY thrown out the window because of all these clips, which leaves viewpoints #1 and #2. But then Clip number 3 states clearly that IAF plane went down in Sher Makri (so can't be Abhinandan's Mig-21) and CANT BE a PAF F-16 (otherwise they would have displayed that footage non-stop for the rest of eternity). Sher Makri is ALSO IN NOWSHERA sector, where this Indian anchor clearly let this slip:

And Clip #4-6 clearly mention other pilots being captured, with AT LEAST ONE BEING Sikh which only supports viewpoint number 2 with the IAF plane crashing in IOK and the pilots landing in Azad Kashmir. Don't then forget DG ISPR's initial post about 3 prisoners taken, later changed to 1.
So I know the common response by the nay-sayers would be:
A) Pak beat up and killed their own pilot, which has been debunked by clip #3 & 4 above,
B) Why change statement from 3 to 1 and why hide the fact then?
Well some probable answers would be:
1) The other captured pilots could then be easily interrogated and or tortured for info as their country wants to deny that they were even shot down or captured so no consequences there
(don't underestimate the value of a captured Weapon Systems Officer, i.e details like IAF Su-30 weapon countermeasures, tactics, squadron info, planes in which hangars etc etc)
2) As per some sightings and reports, the sikh pilot(s) died as their chute caught on fire or made a bad landing and pak not wanting to escalate the issue as the image we were portraying is that we never intended to cause loss of life in either the ground strikes or with pilot capture, and handed over the dead body without displaying images unlike with Abhinandan as it would have forced Indians to do atleast some sort of retaliation due to public pressure
3) Combination of the 2, especially with the rumors of atleast one of the pilots being Israeli which Pak kept secret on purpose and used for leverage with the US and Israel
