Soon after the Pakistani force raised the white flag and asked the Indian soldiers to allow then to lift the bodies of their soldiers' bodies, BSF troops stopped firing. "The Pakistanis waved white flags and asked to stop firing and allow them to lift their soldiers' bodies. We acted as per rules and stopped the fire," said the Inspector General of BSF (Jammu) Rakesh Kumar Sharma.
