Officer Behind Abhinandan’s Capture Killed In Taliban Clash

Major Moiz Abbas Shah, who was involved in Indian pilot Abhinandan Varthaman’s 2019 capture, was killed in a clash with TTP militants in South Waziristan. The operation saw 11 terrorists neutralized. Abhinandan’s brief captivity after the Balakot strike became a symbol of India’s firm stance and led to his release within 58 hours.
