The Indian soldiers- Naik Subeider Paramjit Singh of the Indian Army and BSF Head constable Prem Sagar were beheaded by Border Action Team (BAT) that came 200 metres inside the Indian territory while carrying out attacks on Indian posts.
BSF Additional Director General Kamal Nayan Choubey on Tuesday said the BAT team comprised army regulars and terrorists.
He said the attack came in the form of an ambush.
Meanwhile, the bodies of Paramjit Singh and Prem Sagar were taken to their homes respectively in Punjab TarnTaran and Uttar Pradesh's Deoria after the martyrs were given farewell by the forces.
According to media reports, family members of late Naib Subedar Paramjit Singh initially refused to cremate him until his head is returned to them.

However, the family later agreed to cremate Singh after much persuasion by Army and government officials.
