India says two soldiers killed, mutilated in Pakistani attack
Pakistani soldiers killed two members of an Indian army patrol on the de facto border in the disputed Kashmir region on Monday and then mutilated their bodies, the Indian army said, vowing to exact revenge.
Accusations that Pakistani forces have mutilated dead Indian soldiers have in the past outraged the Indian public and intensified demands for retribution.
The Indian army said Pakistani forces fired rockets and mortar bombs at two Indian posts on the Line of Control dividing Muslim-majority Kashmir between the two sides, in the Krishna Ghati sector.
"In a unsoldierly act by the Pak army the bodies of two of our soldiers in the patrol were mutilated," the Indian army said in a statement, referring to Pakistani forces.
"Such despicable act of Pakistan army will be appropriately responded."
Both sides have accused each of violating the ceasefire and of beheading soldiers in the past. In November, three Indian soldiers were killed in an ambush, and the body of one of them was mutilated, the Indian army said at the time.

India accuses Pakistan of killing and mutilating soldiers
Pakistani troops killed two Indian soldiers in disputed Kashmir on Monday and mutilated their bodies, India's army said, calling it a "despicable act".
In a statement, the army said Pakistan's border force attacked a patrol operating between two border posts on the de facto frontier known as the Line of Control in the remote Himalayan region.
"In an unsoldierly act by the Pak Army the bodies of two of our soldiers in the patrol were mutilated," the statement said, warning of an "appropriate response".
It also accused Pakistan of what it called "unprovoked" rocket and mortar firing across the heavily militarised Line of Control but gave no further details.
Kashmir has been divided between India and Pakistan since the end of British rule in 1947 but both lay claim to the entire territory.
The incident is likely to further raise tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals, who have fought two of their three wars over control of the territory.
The two sides have accused each other in the past of mutilating the bodies of each other's soldiers.
Army spokesman N. N. Joshi said the victims were a junior officer and a border guard.
Another guard from India's Border Security Force was injured in the initial firing from Pakistan, Joshi said.

ok,now tell us how that all happened,as you sir are very informed about business on LOC.
HOW INDIAN TROOPS WERE ATTACKED
According to sources, local intelligence was available to Indian troops about possible landmines being laid out by Pakistani operatives near the Line of Control. When a team reached the forward defence line to check for the mines, they came under the attack from the Pakistan Army.
The Pakistan Army is believed to have entered 200 metres inside the Indian territory along the Line of Control.
The combined patrol team of BSF and Army was ambushed near Nangi Tekri area. The Pakistan Army fired rocket-propelled grenades followed by mortar firing and mutilation of Indian troops.
Head constable Prem Sagar of the Border Security Force and Naib Subedar Paramjit Singh of 22 Sikh Regiment were mutilated by the Pakistan Army. Another BSF soldier Rajendra Singh received splinter injuries.

"A BSF trooper and an Army personnel were martyred on Jammu Line of Control facing unprovoked Pakistan fire. They were deployed in Mendhar area," said India's Border Security Force. It is said the firing began at 8:30 am as Pakistani forces started firing at Indian posts with rocket launchers and automatic weapons.
The incident took place a day after Pakistani Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa, visited the Line of Control at Haji Pir Sector. "Indian aggression and frustration vents at Pakistani villages along LOC/ Working Boundary, but we must keep our response purely in military domain in accordance with our values," Bajwa said after reviewing the situation at the border.
Last week, as part of confidence building measures and to afford requisite warning, the Pakistani Army had approached the Indian Army through hotline contact and asked to inform ground troops about movement of civil and military enumerators to civilian areas along the Line of Control during second phase of census.

All this happened after Indian defense forces toned down the attack posture in the sector once requested by Pakistan Army a week back only. Putting firing system in offline was the biggest mistake done by IA, it shouldn't have believed PA.
