India denies submarine near Pakistan

Indian Navy categorically denies the statement of Pakistani Navy as blatant lies, Navy spokesperson Captain D.K. Sharma said.

New Delhi: India and Pakistan were engaged in a war of words after Islamabad claimed that it had prevented an Indian submarine from entering its territorial waters, a charge which was strongly dismissed by New Delhi.

“Indian Navy categorically denies the statement of Pakistani Navy as blatant lies,” Navy spokesperson Captain D.K. Sharma said, adding that Indian Navy did not have any underwater movement in the area as claimed by the Pakistani Navy.

The sharp reaction came after Pakistan claimed that an Indian submarine, after being detected near Pakistan’s territorial waters, had been pushed back.

The charge came two days after its Army chief Gen. Raheel Sharif had said his men killed 11 Indian soldiers in firing across the Line of Control.
