Islamabad: Pakistan's Foreign Office today denied mutilating the body of an Indian soldier near the Line of Control and termed the reports as "false" and "baseless".
Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria, in a series of tweets, said the reports about the mutilation were aimed at maligning Pakistan.
"Pakistan strongly rejects the false & baseless Indian media reports regarding the alleged mutilation of an Indian solider on the LoC. These reports are a fabrication and a blatant attempt to malign Pakistan," he said.
Mr Zakaria said as a professional force, Pakistan Army isn't involved in any such "unethical & non-professional" activity.
