Barbaric !!

An Indian soldier was beheaded and another killed by Pakistani troops who crossed over into the Indian territory in the Mendhar sector of J&K, in a grim reminder of the brutality perpetrated during the Kargil war, which can make peace-making even more difficult.
The “border action team” of the Pakistan Army took advantage of the fog in the thickly-forested mountainous region to sneak 500 to 600 metres across the Line of Control (LoC) before they were driven back after a fierce gun-battle and even close-quarter combat with Indian troops that went on for over 30 minutes shortly before noon. The incursion and ceasefire violation seemed to be a diversionary manoeuvre to push infiltrators into J&K, as has been the earlier practice of the Pakistan Army.

However, it met with adequate firepower from the Indian troops who, tipped off by the Intelligence Bureau, were fully alert to thwart any nefarious designs.
After the gun-battle, the bodies of Lance-Naiks Hemraj and Sudhakar Singh, part of an “area domination patrol” of the 13 Rajputana Rifles, were found. One of them was “mutilated”. Though the army did not give out details of the barbarism, sources said the Pakistanis had chopped off the “head” of one of the Indians and taken it back with them.
Army sees attack as “significant escalation” over continuing series of ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts
