The Pakistan Army killed two Indian soldiers in unprovoked cross-border firing and mutilated their bodies in Poonch district of Jammu and Kashmir, the Indian Army said on Monday.

An army JCO and a BSF head constable were killed as Pakistan fired rockets at a forward defence location (FDL) post of the paramilitary force along the LoC in Poonch.

The ceasefire violation took place around 8:30 am. Naib Subedar Paramjeet Singh and Head Constable Prem Sagar of the BSF’s 200 Battalion were killed in the attack and their bodies were mutilated.

The mortal remains of Naib Subedar Paramjit Singh were brought to his native place in Tarn Taran, Punjab on Tuesday.

Son of BSF's Prem Sagar(lost his life in ceasefire violation by Pak) says last rites of his father will not be done till UP CM doesn't come

I urge PM Modi and other government officials to get the heads of the enemy. One has to face many difficulties in the BSF. Protocol does not allow arbitrary action. I say, give us a nod, we’ll go catch the enemy and bring them in to put them in place. 
Relative of Prem Sagar

His relatives are demanding to see his body. Read the full story here.
