Indian has not commented on the alleged shooting, but has blamed Pakistan for an ambush earlier this week that left five Indian soldiers dead and one injured.

"It is now clear that specialist troops of the Pakistan army were involved in this attack," A.K. Antony, India's defense minister, said in parliament. "We all know that nothing happens from Pakistan's side of the border without the support, assistance, facilitation and often direct involvement of the Pakistan Army."
