Squadron Leader Ajay Ahuja, who was flying the MIG 21 in the Operation Safed Sagar of IAF during the Kargil War of 1999 was shot at by a stinger shoulder fired missile by the Pakistan Army. Having crashed, it is believed by the Indian military that he survived the crash but was killed by Pakistan Army soldiers. The body of Ahuja bore two point-blank bullet wounds as per the post-mortem done by the Indian authorities. The point-blank injuries clearly indicate the intent of the enemy and a treatment in violation of Geneva conventions.
