Defence Expert Shivali Deshpande on Thursday said that if Pakistan does not follow the Geneva Convention, which it has already violated by making the pilot's video and releasing it, then India will come to "hunt" Pakistan.

After an aerial engagement in the J&K's Nowshera sector on Wednesday, Pakistan claimed that it has captured one MiG 21 Bison pilot.

India has issued a demarche to Pakistan, objecting to the "vulgar display" of the injured IAF pilot in violation of all norms and said Islamabad must ensure that no harm is done to the Indian defence personnel in its custody.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also summoned Pakistan's acting High Commissioner Syed Haider Shah and lodged a strong protest at "the unprovoked act of aggression by Pakistan against India earlier today, including violation of the Indian air space by Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and targeting of Indian military posts."

It also gave Pakistan a dossier with specific details of Jaish-e-Mohammed's complicity in the February 14 Pulwama terror attack, which killed 40 CRPF personnel.
