Pilot swallowed papers, fired in air before capture

IAF Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman swallowed his secret documents and dumped other papers in a pond before being captured by Pakistani civilians and handed over to the Pakistan army in a survival-behind-enemy-lines drama that also saw him discharge his pistol in the air to scare off a mob while one of the civilians shot at the downed pilot’s leg.
