Pakistan Army on Monday denied that its commandos killed two Indian soldiers on the Line of Control (LoC) and mutilated their bodies.
According to Dawn, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement that Pakistani soldiers would never disrespect another soldier, even if they were Indian.
"Pakistan Army did not commit any ceasefire violation on the LoC or a Border Action Team (BAT) action in Buttal sector as alleged by India," the ISPR statement said.
"Indian blame of mutilating Indian soldiers' bodies are also false… Pakistan Army is a highly professional force and shall never disrespect a soldier even Indian," it added.
On Monday, Pakistan Army’s BAT sneaked into India, killed Naib Subedar Paramjit Singh of 22 Sikh Regiment and head constable Prem Sagar of 200 BSF Battalion and mutilated their bodies.
According to a senior Indian Army officer, the attack was a pre-planned operation of Pak Army.
"It was a pre-planed operation by Pakistan army. They had pushed in the Border Action Team over 250 metres deep inside Indian territory and set up the ambush for a long period to carry out the attack," the officer said.
"Their target was a patrol party of 7-8 members, which had come out of a post," he added.
The officer further said that as the posts were engaged, the patrol team members ran for cover. In the process, two members were left behind and targeted by the BAT.
The BAT commandos killed the two Indian soldiers and mutilated their bodies.
