Washington: The UN
Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) has
received an official complaint from the Pakistan Army and will
conduct a probe into the ceasefire violations on the Line of
Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir, a UN spokesman said.
"Regarding the January 6 alleged incident, the United Nations
Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan, or UNMOGIP, has
received an official complaint from the Pakistan Army and will
conduct an investigation as soon as possible in accordance with
its mandate," Martin Nesirky, spokesman for Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon, was quoted as saying at a press briefing.
Pakistan has accused Indian troops of killing one of its soldiers
while Indian officials charged Pakistani troops with sneaking into
Jammu and Kashmir's Mendhar sector, and killing two Indian
soldiers, and mutilating their bodies.
On the second "alleged incident" that occurred Jan 8, "no official
complaint has been received either from the Pakistan Army or
Indian Army", Nesirky said.
"UNMOGIP is aware that the Pakistan Army and Indian Army are in
contact via the hotline and urges both sides to respect the cease
fire and de-escalate tensions through dialogue," he said.
On Wednesday, Pakistan denied its troops crossed into Jammu and
Kashmir and killed two Indian soldiers but said it was ready to
investigate India's claim.
"Pakistan strongly rejects the Indian allegation of an attack
across the Line of Control (LoC) on its military patrol in which
two Indian soldiers were claimed to have been killed. These are
baseless and unfounded allegations," the Pakistani foreign
ministry said in a statement.
The ministry said Pakistan was prepared to launch an investigation
through the UNMOGIP on the ceasefire violations.
The Director General Military Operations of the Pakistani Army
Wednesday spoke to his Indian counterpart by telephone and
rejected New Delhi's claim.
