New Delhi: Indian fighter jets intercepted and downed an unmanned aerial vehicle that violated the Indian air space on the International Border in Rajasthan, Sources said on Monday.  The UAV entered the Indian Territory at around 11:30 am today prompting Indian fighter jets to scramble and fire air to air missile at it. Subsequently, the parts of the missile debris fell into Fort Abbas near Bahawalpur where Masood Azhar has built a sprawling headquarter of his terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed. Some social media users in Pakistan claimed that the Indian Air Force once again infiltrated into Pakistani Airspace and dropped payload in Chak 270 Fort Abbas. Some of them displayed purported images of the "shells". On February 27 as well, 10-12 fighter jets of Pakistan had attempted air space violation in Anupgarh area of Rajasthan but was thwarted by the IAF. The Indian Air Force (IAF) is on its highest state of alert following the air strikes. It has shown Pakistan’s deep State that India’s response to ISI-sponsored terror would not be constrained by precedent or convention. The government has also not shown signs of deescalating the situation and has vowed to avenge the Pulwama terror attack in a precise and targeted way. Today’s incident comes three days after Pakistan had released Indian wing commander Abhinandan Varthaman who it had help captive for nearly 60 hours. Varthaman, flying a Mig-21 Bison, shot down a Pakistan Air Force F-16 with an R-73 air-to-air missile in a dogfight on February 27 before his aircraft took a hit and he had to eject. He parachuted and landed in Pakistan where he was assaulted by locals and "mentally harassed" by the ISI. Before handing him over to India under the garb of a peace gesture, Pakistan released a propaganda video of him comprising multiple cuts in which he was forced to extol the virtues of the Pakistani army and criticize the Indian media. Amid heightened tensions between the nuclear-armed countries, rumors also swirled in social media on Sunday of Masood Azhad being killed in the air strike at Balakot on February 26. The 50-year-old Azhar, who was released by the NDA government in 1999 in exchange of hostages of the hijacked Indian Airlines plane IC-814, has been accused of being the mastermind of the 2001 Parliament attack, suicide attack on Jammu and Kashmir state assembly, attack on Pathankot IAF base and the latest Pulwama terror strike.
