The Inter-Services Public Relations in a statement said the Pakistan Army “did not commit any ceasefire violation on LoC or a BAT (Border Action Team) action in Krishna Ghati Sector as alleged by India.”

It said the “Indian blame of mutilating soldiers’ bodies are also false”.

The Pakistan Foreign Office in a statement said the “Pakistan Army is a highly professional force and shall never disrespect a soldier, even Indian”.
