if that was the case the engine would only need to be ideling to produce the power. if the aircraft was stationary then a gpu would have been an option. but the jet was being pulled back. and at a maximum the engine should have been at idal, not at taxi thrust. it protocal that the jet must be on the apron and noone near it for it to produce enough power for it to pull someone in.

May be Co-pilot increase thrust before pulling out landing gear pin due to communication error.

what plane was it? or do you know its registration so i can look it up?

A319 aircraft: A319 range, specifications (dimensions, seating capacity, performance), cabin | Airbus | Airbus, a leading aircraft manufacturer
Registration no. is AI-619

or was he in the wrong place at the wrong time.?

He was close to the nose of the flight so that he was visible to the pilots.
