In a shocking incident reflecting the growing chaos within the Indian Army, two units reportedly opened fire on each other along the Line of Control (LoC), resulting in the deaths of five Sikh soldiers.
According to sources, the incident occurred on the night between April 25 and 26 in the Japala Bridge area of the Baramulla sector in Indian-occupied Kashmir. During a routine patrol, the 185 Battalion of the Border Security Force (BSF), stationed in Baramulla, allegedly fired on the 13 Sikh Light Infantry Regiment of the 12th Brigade.
The exchange of fire has left the Sikh soldiers of the 13 Sikh Light Infantry Regiment enraged, sources say. Defense analysts view the incident as a clear sign of rising frustration and internal discord within the Indian Army ranks.
Experts also pointed out that this is not the first time such an incident has occurred within the Indian military. Past occurrences of similar nature have raised concerns over discipline and morale within the armed forces.
Defense analysts further emphasized that the Pakistan Army remains fully prepared to defend its borders. Any form of aggression from India would be met with a strong and decisive response.
