India has continued to deny any connection with the drone plane that was shot down by Pakistan Army even as Islamabad summoned the Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan to lodge protest.
Meanwhile, sources said that the drone could have belonged to the police of Pakistan's Punjab province, used for Highway patrolling.
Intelligence sources claimed that the drone in the picture is a Chinese made DJI Phantom 3, and that India doesn't buy any drones from China. Terming it as a bizarre claim by Pakistan, sources said that India would respond through appropriate diplomatic channels.
Pakistan Army had claimed it shot down the drone in the Bhimber area of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Pakistani Army has alleged the drone was being used for aerial photography near the Line of Control (LoC).
The incident comes just days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi held bilateral talks with his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif in Russia.
The Indian Army had earlier denied Pakistan Army's claim that it had shot down an Indian 'spy' drone.
The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR), in a brief statement, had said the Indian drone was brought down near the Line of Control in Bhimber area of Pakistan occupied Kashmir.
