India's DGMO to Pakistan on mutilation of soldiers: Dastardly, inhuman act beyond norms of civility

In a hotline conversation a day after Pakistani forces beheaded two Indian soldiers, the Indian Directors General of Military Operations (DGMO) today told his Pakistani counterpart that the act was "dastardly and inhuman" and "beyond any norm of civility".

"Mutilating bodies of soldiers is dastardly and inhuman act beyond any norm of civility. The act invites unequivocal condemnation and response," the Indian commander said.

The Indian Army has already vowed an "appropriate" response to the



"despicable act" of beheading and mutilating the bodies of Naib Subedar Paramjeet Singh of 22 Sikh Infantry and Head Constable Prem Sagar of 200th Battalion of BSF on Sunday.

The Pakistan army has denied that it was involved in the attack or the mutilation of the Indian soldiers.

India has accused Pakistan's Border Action Team (BAT) of giving cover to militants along the Line of Control (LoC). "There was full fire by Pakistan Army post located in the vicinity of the incident site," the DGMO said.
