Abhinandan Video

A cricket Wold Cup advertisement by a Pakistani channel featuring a spoof using IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman lookalike as a prop has not gone down well with the Twitterati back home, many of whom have termed the "mocking" act "cheap" and "shameful".

Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, who was captured by Pakistan when he crossed the Line of Control chasing a Pak F-16 fighter jet, was handed back to Indian authorities tonight and crossed the Attari-Wagah border around 9.20, about three hours after he was reportedly scheduled to return.

After directing YouTube to pull down objectionable video links of Indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, the government on Thursday sent out a stern warning to social media firms not to allow their platforms to be abused for "weakening the morale of the country".
