China-India Conflict: Unarmed Indian Soldiers Encircled and Throat Slashed According to Indian Government and Families in Reuters Report
A bloody clash broke out at the Ladakh region on the border between China and India last month. Reuters quoted reports from Indian government officials, 2 soldiers deployed to the area and family members of the fallen solders, that the Indian soldiers were unarmed at the point of conflict and encircled by a larger army at a ridge.
The father of a deceased Indian soldier was informed that his son had his throat slashed in the dark with metal nails. Relatives of other fallen soldiers were also informed by witnesses that Indian soldiers fell into the Galwan River located at the west of the Himalayan valley.
Reuters interviewed the relatives of 13 deceased Indian soldiers, 5 of which presented death certificates listing the horrifying injuries sustained by the casualties in the six-hour conflict. The death certificates showed 3 soldiers sustained arteries ruptured in the neck while 2 other soldiers suffered fatal head injuries caused by sharp or pointed objects. 5 of them had visible scars on their necks and foreheads.
Reuters contacted the military hospital in Ladakh, India, where the bodies were transported. However, the hospital declined to comment on the causes of death but mentioned that the bodies and death certificates were already delivered to the families. 2 soldiers from the Bihar Regiment, who were deployed to the area but were not directly involved in the border conflict, accompanied the bodies to their hometown. The identities of the 2 soldiers accompanying the bodies were undisclosed due to military regulations. All family members also had requested to remain anonymous in the interviews.
