The BSF trooper was found dead with his throat slit and his body bore multiple bullet injuries after the missing trooper was killed by Pakistani troops in the Jammu region, in a first of its kind barbaric act against Indian forces along the International Border.
The officials said a "high alert" has been issued to all formations along the 192-km long International Border(IB) and the 740-km Line of Control (LoC), which is manned by the army.
The brutal incident in Ramgarh sector was reminiscent of similar attacks in the past against Indian security forces along the LoC.
"The body of the jawan bears three bullet injuries and his throat has been slit. This is an unprecedented action that has happened with the Indian forces along the IB and the Pakistani troopers are behind this. The BSF and other forces will undertake a counter-action at a suitable time," officials said.
Imran Khan extends olive branch:
The matter becomes more barbaric as on one hand the family of the jawan performed his last rites, on the other hand; Pakistan PM Imran Khan in a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended an olive branch.
In the letter the newly elected PM of Pakistan has called for resumption of peace dialogue between the two neighbouring countries.
