Highly placed sources tell OneIndia that there is no truth in the information. There is nothing to say. This is Pakistan's version of the story, the official also added.
India has been contemplating serious action against Pakistan after over 40 CRPF jawan were martyred in an attack at Pulwama earlier this month. The Jaish-e-Mohammad led by Maulana Masood Azhar claimed responsibility for the attack.
Reports from Pakistan also suggested that the army there was put on high alert. Further hospitals too were asked to be ready, Pakistan media reports stated.
