Major Muiz Abbas 'arrested' India's Wing Commander Abhinandan Vardhaman in Pakistan in 2019. This arrest was made when Abhinandan's plane crashed in Pakistan and he was injured. Major Muiz then made a lot of headlines by claiming the arrest, but India had to kneel down to Pakistan and sent Wing Commander Abhinandan back safely.
