Government to seek SC’s nod in Kalia’s case

Taking a U-turn, the Central Government has decided to seek the SC's nod for moving the case of Captain Saurabh Kalia's death to the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Captain Kalia had been killed by Pakistani soldiers during the Kargil war. Since both are commonwealth nations, India and Pakistan can't approach ICJ against each other. But this case is exceptional, according to the Government.

A 6-man team of India's 121 brigade was patrolling the LOC on 5th May 1999, when they were taken captive by the Pakistani army.

Skulls were smashed, eyes were taken out and genitals were severed.

Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik said that he was unsure whether Captain Kalia was killed by Pakistan or he died due to the weather. He expressed his desire to meet Captain Kalia's father.
