A special repatriation flight by the Indian Air Force - carrying 168 passengers, including 107 Indians - landed this morning at the Hindon air base near Delhi from Kabul. Those onboard this jet had been held briefly by the Taliban in Kabul, even sparking fears that they had been kidnapped. All in all, over 300 Indians were evacuated from Afghanistan and brought safety to India. Jafar Sharif, from Chennai, is one among those evacuated, he says the relief to be on Indian soil outweighs any frustration. He also says that he would hear sounds of gunshots and hand grenades at night. "I couldn't sleep because of fear."
