But the solidity of the evidence the government possesses to counter Pakistan's denial remains unclear, with conflicting accounts on the blood trail Jaishankar referred to while speaking with Basit. Foreign ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay suggested Pakistani soldiers had bled while fleeing, leaving the "blood trail". But another official later clarified that the trail was marked by the blood of the killed Indian soldiers. Blood samples of the two killed soldiers had been taken to see if they matched the blood in the trail to the stream. The blood in the trail detected by the army belonged to "Pakistan Army personnel", Baglay said in the afternoon.
