Earlier, a Pakistani soldier who tried to enter India by crossing the LOC in the Keran sector of Kupwara was gunned down by Indian soldiers. Then the army contacted the Pakistani Army on the hotline and asked them to take back the dead body of the slain terrorist. One AK 47 rifle, seven grenades and other weapons were recovered from him.
