Pakistan has displayed a mannequin of Indian Air Force pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman in a war museum in Karachi.
Pakistani journalist and political commentator Anwar Lodhi had posted on Twitter the photo of Abhinandan's mannequin displayed in the museum. “PAF has put mannequin of Abhi Nandhan on display in the museum. This would be a more interesting display if they can arrange a Cup of FANTASTIC tea in his hand,” Lodhi wrote on Twitter.
The picture shared on Twitter shows the mannequin standing next to another mannequin in Pakistan Air Force uniform. A cup is also seen on the other side of the Indian pilot.

Abhinandan was captured on February 27 by Pakistan defence forces after his MiG-21 was shot down in the neighbouring country following the Balakot air strikes. After he was captured, Abhinandan refused to divulge sensitive information to Pakistan authorities. In a video released by Pakistan, Abhinandan is shown sipping tea and saying, “The tea is fantastic, thank you.” He was released on March 1 as a “peace gesture”.
