Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman went through a lot of mental harassment while in Pakistani custody of nearly 60 hours. The brave Air Force pilot told Indian officials that although he was not physically, but subjected to mental torture by Pakistani officials, who claimed he was treated well by them.

The handing over of pilot Abhinandan Varthaman to India at Attari-Wagah was delayed yesterday as he was made to record a statement on camera by Pakistani authorities before he was allowed to cross the border.

Abhinandan Varthaman was handed over to Indian officials by Pakistan on Friday evening around 9:20 pm. He was subsequently taken to Army hospital in New Delhi for a detailed medical checkup.
