Constable Sitaram Yadav was killed on May 18. Official sources told PTI that Yadav was evacuated by two other BSF jawans guarding the nearby post but the bullet injury to his left eye ultimately caused his death. The incident has reportedly left top Indian commanders responsible for ensuring security along India-Pakistan border worried.
The precision of the shot initially led BSF officials to believe that the attack was carried out by a sniper. However, a detailed scrutiny of footage from a hand-held thermal imager (HHTI) suggested that Yadav was shot from close range by either a Pakistani soldier or a militant. The HHTI detects the body heat signatures of a living being — a human or an animal — and creates a silhouette that assists in checking infiltration bids and attacks on Indian posts in the dark.
