Sources told “Varthaman could have gone to his family home in Chennai to spend time with his parents, but he chose to go to Srinagar where his squadron is based”. Furthermore once his sick leave is completed, Abhinandan will be tested to determine whether he is fit to fly a fighter jet again. Sources in Indian Air Force told “At the moment, the officer has decided to stay with his men and machines in Srinagar and will be required to come back from New Delhi for a review by the medical board, which will decide on his fitness for flying fighter planes”.



Retd Air Marshal PK Barbora told “When one goes through an ejection, the load on your spine increases about 16 to 17 times your body weight. So you tend to cause some damage to the spine. Perhaps, for recovery, we give time. If the damage is major, once he is okay, he may be flying helicopters or transport aircraft”.
