Pakistan's Border Action Teams (BAT) comprise heavily armed terrorists, supported by the country's Army. The BAT teams cross into Indian side of the LoC while the Pakistan Army engages the Indian troops in cross-border firing to facilitate BAT actions.
Defence Ministry sources said on Thursday that the Pakistan Army indulged in unprovoked firing and shelling at Indian positions with small arms, automatics and mortars. Indian troops effectively retaliated, he said.
On May 1, an Indian soldier and a BSF trooper were killed and their bodies mutilated near the LoC, in Jammu and Kashmir, in an action which the Indian Army said was carried out by a Pakistani BAT team inside Indian territory.
The dead were Naib Subedar Paramjit Singh of 22 Sikh Regiment and Head Constable Prem Sagar of the Border Security Force.
