Pakistan Army on Monday denied mutilating the bodies of two Indian security personnel, which has evoked a sharp reaction in India. “Pakistan Army did not commit any ceasefire violation on the Line of Control or a BAT action in the Buttal sector (India’s Krishna Ghati sector) as alleged by India. Indian blame of mutilating Indian soldiers’ bodies is also false,’ a statement from the Pakistan Army’s Inter-Services Public Relations wing said.
“Pakistan Army is a highly professional force and shall never disrespect a soldier, even Indian,’ it said. In a barbaric attack, an army junior commissioned officer and a Border Security Force head constable were killed and their bodies mutilated by a Pakistan army team which sneaked about 250 metres into the Indian territory along the Line of Control in the Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir.
