The Indian Army and J&K Police personnel ultimately agreed to hand over the designated individuals to the fighters in exchange for their own safety. They relinquished their weapons and equipment before departing the area. Later, upon their return, they reported the discovery of the lifeless bodies of Colonel Manpreet Singh, Major Ashish, and DSP J&K Police Humayun Bhat, alongside others.
An additional revelation states that the bodies of Colonel Manpreet and Major Ashish were found unclothed, prompting an ongoing investigation into potential signs of sexual assault or torture. Allegations suggest that information regarding the movement of Indian forces may have been leaked from within the RR or J&K Police.
