Ofcourse when paksitan returned him they will take him.
They are not that stupid.
That is what you would like to believe, however, you are yet to prove your claims with credible links.
India has never denied it soldiers or pilots. Here is an archive link below from the Indian Express of 29th May 1999 (day after the Nachiketa was captured).

Earlier, AVM Malik said Pakistan had been asked to hand over Flt Lt K Nachiketa, who is in their custody. Maj Gen JJ Singh, Additional Director General Military Operations, added it was expected that all ``prisoners would be treated as per the Geneva Conventions'' by Pakistan.

Even before Zeeshan it was VisionHawk who claimed that we refused to take Nachiketa back.

OH MY GOD HE IS LYING I cant belive what I am reading , My son met him for 10 min at chaklala AFB and when he asked him how are you his answer was Thank you I am very well with a smile on his face than they talked about planes for a while. My son called me last night from china and told me to check the indian newspapers he was so angery right now because he says that he said I have been treated well and I am very surprised and now after 7 years he starts lying.



When Flight Lieutenant K Nachiketa was shot down during the 1999 Kargil operations and taken prisoner by the Pakistani Army before being dramatically released, many thought his flying days were over due to a spinal injury he sustained while ejecting from his MiG-27 fighter - but he has proved the sceptics wrong.

Today a squadron leader flying AN-32 transport aircraft, Nachiketa has been approved for promotion to wing commander and could rise even higher, his peers in the Indian Air Force (IAF) say.

"I would even say that depending on the circumstances, he could even make (IAF) chief," Air Marshal AK Singh, Air Officer Commanding-in-chief Western Air Command, maintained, not exactly in jest.

Nachiketa, however, wouldn't speculate on this, only saying: "The IAF is my home; I will definitely stay in the Air Force."

Nachiketa is one the very few IAF pilots to have returned after their aircraft crashed in enemy territory. He was shot down on May 28, 1999, and held in captivity before being released a week later on June 4. He was later diagnosed with a back problem - a compression fracture - meaning he could never fly fighters again. However, after a series of remedial measures and retraining, he has been flying AN-24s since 2004 and is currently posted with the Chandigarh-based 48 Squadron.

Did he miss flying fighters?

"Definitely. But, then, even this flying is very good. In fact, all flying is very good and very challenging - be it fighters, helicopters or transports," Nachiketa said.

"I think I've reconciled (myself to not flying fighters) because, from a broader perspective, I think life has got much more than fighters," he added.

Detailing the dramatic events of the day he crashed, he said: "I had a technical problem with the engine; my engine shut and I had to re-ignite. But you have to be flying at a certain height before you can do so. In my case, since I was flying over a terrain of five plus km, I did not have the adequate height. As a result, I had to eject.

"About two to three hours after I ejected, I was ambushed and there was a fire fight. Regular Pakistani Army troops fired at me, I fired back. Eventually, I was captured because I was outnumbered. I had one pistol vis-à-vis five-six AK-56s," Nachiketa stated.

"After about a two-hour halt at a place in the Batalik sector, I was taken by a helicopter to Skardu. After a night halt, I was shifted to Rawalpindi. I stayed there for four days. Thereafter a decision to release me was taken and I came back via the Wagah border," he said.

Looking back at the incident, was it wise to have flown an aircraft like the MiG-27 in the mountainous Kargil terrain? "I think that is for the tactics and policy makers to decide. We just do whatever is best for us," Nachiketa replied, adding "With the available intelligence at that time, we thought it was a good decision."

Asked how his captors treated him, he said: "They took it in two phases. First they declared me uncooperative. Then it became quite bad. I don't want to go into specifics."

What did his captors question him about?

"They asked me about our forces, their deployment, the kind of avionics and ammunition which we have."

He replied in the negative when asked if he expected to come back after he was captured?
"Absolutely not. As per our background, from 1971 what we have seen, no one generally comes back."

Did he debate issues of life and death after being captured?

"The only thing I was planning from my side was escape. But that takes time. Initially, there is high security, then slowly there is dilution. Being released by Pakistan was a surprise."

Asked if the IAF trained its personnel about what to do if one is captured, he replied: "In all our training, starting from the cadet days, the entire focus is on survival. In the Air Force, we have a special survival course for aircrew so that we are better prepared to handle such eventualities

This thread is getting locked if all these pictures are not captioned as kills from the Kargil war...

Let's not use the forum for a pissing contest with the Indians.

Sorry guys, I'm all for heroic pics of the PAF, I've posted many myself but the thread title's kargil air war and it'd be appreciated if things don't go off on tangents.

What do you mean?, i did'nt get it, you dont want us to comment on the images, posted in this thread. Then whats a point of the thread id some one have no idea what the pictures are all about their reality along with the incidents happened. Surely you know what i am talking about. I think i've said that earlier and saying it again, "Threads & posts arise from threads & posts".

Mel you know my son, at that time he was the ADC to the Vice Chief of AirStaff so he got a chance to talk to him and I was in service at that time. Without breaking my oth I can say something he was questioned by couple of people and was not harmed in any way, Just imagin your self if we had shot down a
Wg Cdre who was commanding a fighter SQD them yes he would have been in trouble but a Flt Lt what will we ask him ( How many planes do you have , What are your tactics) thanks to Google earth we dont need to know and there tactics we fought couple of times so we know there's and they know ours.
He was taken to Jinnah Super in Islamabad after that GHQ picked a cake from PC Rawalpindi because it was his birthday, Plus we knew that the whole world was watching us why do something wrong he went back and no one said anything for 7 years and now suddenly he remembered he was interrogated and torchured.

He was tortured so badly that he suffered amnesia and is only now recovering.
