Following an attack by a suicide bomber that left more than 40 Indian troops in Kashmir dead, an Indian airman, who said in a 2011 TV interview that a “bad attitude” was required to become a fighter pilot, was shot down over the disputed region, parachuted into Pakistani territory, tried to eat his documents, was beaten by a mob, and was then captured by Pakistani forces, who took him into custody, interrogated him, and filmed him drinking tea.
