Indian statement on Kashmir attackers ‘replete with fabrications’, says Pakistan

Pakistan has denied involvement in the attack in which 26 men were shot dead - the worst assault on civilians in India since the 2008 Mumbai attacks - and sought an independent investigation.

The Indian home minister’s account of forces killing who he said were three Pakistanis involved in the April attack on Hindu tourists in the Jammu and Kashmir federal territory was “replete with fabrications”, Pakistan’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
