Did US choppers on Osama mission flew over India?

Washington/New Delhi: The flight path taken by two American MH-47 Chinook helicopters to Abbottabad in Pakistan to kill Osama bin Laden in May 2011 has triggered a controversy with questions being raised as to whether they flew over the Indian air space.
A just-published book, containing a first-hand account of the raid on the al Qaeda leader's hideout in the Pakistan garrison town near Islamabad, contains a map showing the flight path of the two helicopters after they took off from Jalalabad in Afghanistan in the dead of the night on May 1.
The map shows the helicopters crossing Pakistan's eastern border with India before looping around and approaching Abbottabad from the South East. The book – 'No Easy Day: The Autobiography of a Navy SEAL' – is written by one of the US Navy SEALS Matt Bissonnette, who participated in the operation, using pseudonym "Mark Owen".Questions about whether the helicopters flew over the Indian air space have been raised by a popular US website, Redstate, described as a leading conservative news blog. This has set off a debate in the cyber world.
