June 24, 2017 09:08
The Pakistani Border Action Team, made up of special forces men and terrorists, were armed with 'special daggers' and 'headband cameras' to mutilate and record the attack on the Indian Army patrol party after entering 600 meters across the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.
The attack left two Indian soldiers dead while one BAT member was killed in retaliatory action by Indian troops.
Army troops, during search and sanitation operations, recovered the body of a member of the BAT team along the LoC in Gulpur sector of Poonch district on Thursday.
"The body of the intruder killed in the BAT attempt on June 22 has been retrieved and handed over to the local police," a senior army officer told PTI. "Arms, ammunition and other war-like stores including a special dagger and a headband with a camera, knife, one AK rifle, 3 magazines, 2 grenades besides dresses and bags were recovered which reflects the barbaric mindset of the Pakistan Army," he said.
"The resolute action of our soldiers didn't let the nefarious plan (of mutilating bodies and recording it on camera) succeed," officer said.
Giving details, he said that a special class of dagger and a knife were meant to engineer quick mutilation and beheading of jawans killed in the firing exchanges and it has been foiled by the quick action by Indian soldiers.
The BAT member was wearing headband with camera on his head to record the action and possible mutilation of jawans, which was prevented by other troops who shot dead one of them and injured another, he said.
The officer said it was being investigated whether the camera was live connected with Pakistan Army establishments across the border.
"The data and details of the camera will be analysed," he said.
