Pakistan on Thursday summoned the Indian Deputy High Commissioner here over the killing of a civilian in India’s “unprovoked ceasefire violation” across the LoC and sought an immediate probe.
Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Nafees Zakaria said that 28-year-old villager Abdul Rehman was killed in “unprovoked firing by India in Karela sector of the Line of Control (LoC)” late last night.
12 others, including women and children, were injured in the incident, the FO said in a press release.
The Indian Deputy High Commissioner was called in by the Director General (South Asia & SAARC) on Thursday over “unprovoked ceasefire violations on the LoC by Indian forces”, it said.
“It was conveyed that the Indian side must investigate the incident and share the findings with Pakistan, India must instruct its troops to respect the ceasefire, in letter and spirit, refrain from intentionally targeting the villages and maintain peace and stability on the LoC,” the release said.
