New Delhi: A report
that Indian soldiers had tortured and decapitated Pakistani troops
along the Line of Control (LoC) was baseless, Defence Minister A.K.
Antony said Thursday.
A day after the Indian Army described as "erroneous and
speculative" the report, the defence minister too lent it the
weight of his voice. The allegations, Antony told reporters on the
sidelines of a function here, were "totally baseless".
A newspaper Wednesday reported classified Pakistani protests to
the UN accusing Indian troops of torture and decapitation of at
least 12 Pakistani soldiers in cross-LoC raids since 1998.
This follows tensions along the LoC after a Pakistani soldier was
killed Jan 6 by the Indian Army and Pakistani troops killed two
Indian soldiers two days later.
One of the Indian soldiers was beheaded and the head carried away.
The other soldier's body was reportedly mutilated.
The Directors General Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two
countries have since agreed to stick to the 2003 ceasefire along
the LoC.
