Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was shot down over the Kashmir region by Pakistan forces, returns to India.

The pilot was shot down on Wednesday over the disputed region of Kashmir, which nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan have fought over for decades.

India promised a robust response, and on Tuesday, launched a strike inside Pakistani territory. It claimed it was targeting a JeM camp where militants were preparing to stage more attacks against India. But there was an escalation when the Pakistani planes were chased by Indian fighters. In the ensuing fight, both sides claimed to have shot down each other's warplanes.

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Thursday they would return the Indian pilot as a"peace gesture" and warned against any"miscalculation".
