Mutilated bodies of Head Constable Prem Sagar and Naik Subedar Paramjeet Singh were found near LoC in Poonch, Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan, as usual, denied that its forces carried out such an act, but denial has been the hallmark of Islamabad.

Earlier in the day, the Indian Army told the Pakistani military that mutilating bodies of the two soldiers was a "dastardly and inhuman act" which called for a response and unequivocal condemnation.

Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) Lt Gen A K Bhatt spoke to his Pakistan counterpart and expressed "grave concern" about the killing and beheading of the two soldiers
