The Indian Army has offered the Pakistani Army to take over the dead bodies of its troops that are lying inside the Indian territory near Keran in north Kashmir.
The Pakistani Army has been offered to approach with a white flag and take over the dead bodies for last rites. Pakistan is yet to respond, sources in the Army said on Sunday.
The Army had foiled an attack by Pakistan’s Border Action Team (BAT) on a forward post along the Line of Control (LoC) in north Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Saturday, killing at least five to seven intruders. The BAT generally comprises special forces personnel of the Pakistani Army and terrorists.
The bodies are lying close to the Line of Control (LoC).
Defence sources said the bodies may possibly be of Pakistan’s SSG commandoes.
On Friday, Chinar Corps Commander Lt General K J S Dhillon had said according to available intelligence reports, all the launchpads in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir are full and infiltrators attempting to enter Kashmir.
This year, despite Balakot airstrikes, the infiltration has not stopped from across. Sources said over 30 militants managed to sneak into J&K till May-end.
A senior Army official said Pakistan has desperately attempted to push terrorists belonging to JeM and other outfits into Jammu and Kashmir over the last few days. “The response by security forces vindicates the build-up in the hinterland,” he said.
