Probably the aircraft was based at PAF Base Samungli where Squadron No. 23 "Talons" operates F-7PG.

Looks like the pilot embraced martyrdom during ejection, his intact body was found near wreckage of the aircraft and parachute was deployed as well.

Though it is tragedy as a young pilot has lost his life, it is was positive that no one posted the pictures of dead body on this forum. Picture of pilot's remains is being widely shared on whatsapp groups in utter disregard to care and sensibilities on such matters.
