India has strongly condemned the "inhuman" treatment of its two soldiers who it says were killed in an alleged cross-border attack by Pakistan troops in the disputed territory of Kashmir.
India has summoned Pakistan's top envoy in Delhi over the incident.
Pakistan has rejected Indian Army allegations that it killed any Indian soldiers or fired across the Line of Control (LoC) which divides Kashmir.
Claimed by both countries, Kashmir has been a flashpoint for over 60 years.
A statement from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs said the soldiers' bodies had been subjected to "barbaric and inhuman mutilation" which was "in contravention of all norms of international conduct".
A Pakistani military official said Pakistan had verified the facts on the ground and found "nothing of the sort" had happened.
He denounced the Indian claim as "propaganda" to divert attention away from a clash on the LoC two days earlier.
Pakistan said one of its soldiers was killed on 6 January after an Indian incursion. India denies its soldiers crossed the line.
