“The pictures and videos were taken on mobile phones. The meeting was conducted and the leaked photos and videos are not against the Army. But the question is why were these leaked to the media?,” a defence source told The Times of India.
The source added there were no civilians at the meeting between the personnel of the two armies on January 6, indicating that the pictures could have been leaked by Army personnel themselves.
