However, he phoned his superiors of where he was to be rescued. ISWAP tracked the message and got to the location before rescue could arrive. He was briefly interviewed and k!lléd.
Other sources who spoke to DailyPost, said the officer later became disoriented while navigating the forest, prompting urgent rescue efforts by ground troops and air assets.
At one point, he informed colleagues that he was already heading back to base, raising hopes that he would be recovered alive.
However, after reports of his disappearance went viral, ISWAP reportedly re-captured him. His d+ath was confirmed shortly afterward.
The Army had earlier stated that the commander had safely returned to base, a claim now contradicted by emerging details.
