Air Cmdr Kaiser Tufail denied any interview to India Times. The circulating story is not true.

Here is the answer of Air Commodore Kaiser Tufail sahab on the story attributed to him falsely by an Indian Newspaper.

INTERROGATION OF IAF PILOT

An Indian newspaper report has gone viral on the social media, so I thought I must correct a few errors.
It seems India Times has tried to spice it up. Firstly, I was nowhere at the crash site as I was working at the Air Headquarters, Chaklala, while this pilot baled out near Kargil so there is no question of my saving him from torture by Pak soldiers (which in itself is a bit of nonsense).
Secondly, I did not interrogate him in 'my room'; rather he was in custody at an Army location where I met him.
Thirdly, I never gave an interview to India Times, and whatever has been attributed to me is what Nachiketa told the newspaper in some interview. Whatever has been written about our meeting is, however, correct.

As for my dealing with the captive, I felt he was helpless and was under custody, so he deserved some dignity. I did not want to disgrace him, as he was an officer junior to me in rank, and belonged to the fighter pilot fraternity. I did what chivalry demands, in accordance with the Geneva Conventions that the Pakistan Armed Forces strictly abide by.
The interrogation brought out the desired results, as the IAF officer went on answering my queries as if he was sitting in a crew room gossiping with a fellow senior pilot.
I am thankful that Nachiketa has acknowledged the decent treatment meted to him (including some vegetable patties I arranged for him over a cup of tea.)

Note: This reply gave by him on his facebook few minutes ago.

It is normal practice to provide care and protection to any POW

By Pakistani Armed Forces! Otherwise we have many accounts of Pakistani POWs who were treated as per Indian standards in India.
