The identity of the killed individual – whether an Indian national or Myanmar national – is yet to be ascertained, the sources added.
The brutal and ‘unprecedented’ incident that took place along the Indo-Myanmar border has prompted the Indian security forces to issue a “high alert”.
The Indian authorities have also sought cooperation with its counterpart in Myanmar to find more details of the dead man at the earliest.
