“Chinar Corps deeply regrets the loss of Braveheart Sepoy Banoth Anil Kumar while performing operational duty along the LoC in Baramulla. We salute his immense valour and sacrifice, and stand in solidarity with his family,” the Army posted on X.
In a separate tribute, the Army said, “General Upendra Dwivedi, COAS, and all ranks salute the supreme sacrifice of Sepoy Banoth Anil Kumar, who laid down his life in the line of duty at Baramulla. Our deepest condolences to the bereaved family.”
Reports of BAT involvement
Sources in the Army told CNN-News18 that they are still ascertaining the cause of the incident, and that no involvement of Pakistan’s Border Action Team (BAT) is likely.
Earlier, reports had emerged saying that Pakistan’s BAT was behind the attack on the forward post.
The Border Action Team is a special operations unit of the Pakistan Army, often comprising specially trained soldiers along with militants from terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed.
Impact Shorts
View AllBAT’s primary role is to conduct cross-border raids, ambushes, and surprise strikes on Indian positions along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu & Kashmir, typically targeting forward posts, patrol parties, or small groups of soldiers.
Following the attempt, security forces launched a large-scale cordon and search operation to track down the infiltrators taking cover under the darkness.
