The authorities told the captain that they were unable to locate the plane due to the closure of the transponder. The pilot responded that it was because of a technical fault and that they would restart it soon. The captain was directed to remain on the hotline until the flight transponder was restarted.
Later, the authorities were able to locate the aircraft once again near Rahim Yar Khan once the transponder of the plane restarted.
does someone suspect something fishy here?
Yes, it was infact a plane filled with RAW agents, trying to locate Zaid Laal Topi Hamid and silence him

yes. its a way of finding out how the other side would respond. For future planing of activities
The Plane doesn’t Just disappear off of Radar when Transponder is turned off. It still registers on RADAR but just with a blip which is without all the info. Controllers Can still pinpoint the location even if Transponder is Turned off
After this incident Pakistan should forbid his airpace to all india leaving or coming flight for a month.
Interesting direction: Lahore to Rahim yaar Khan isn’t like traversing Pakistan airspace rather trekking Punjab air space.
