NEW DELHI: In a fresh outrage by Pakistan, two Indian soldiers were beheaded and another injured by a Pakistani ‘border action team’ (BAT) that sneaked into Indian territory under cover of heavy shelling in the Krishna Ghati sector in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir on Monday.
The provocation led the two armies to sharply escalate their exchange of fire in several areas along the 778-km Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, worsening the already deep chill in India-Pakistan ties.
India vowed to exact revenge for the “barbaric” act of the bodies during the well-planned BAT raid and ambush conducted over 200 metres inside Indian territory, which came less than 24 hours after Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa visited the LoC on Sunday.
Indian government has given Indian Army free hand to take revenge of the incident.
