While refuting the reports about cash prizes as false and baseless,Army in a statement to Greater Now told that there are media reports quoting that Amshipora encounter actions were driven by a Rs 20 Lakh award for killing of militants which are completely false and fabricated.

It is clarified that Indian Army has no system of cash awards for its personnel for any acts in combat situations or otherwise in the line of duty.

The report is malafide ( misleading) and not based on facts of the processes internal to Indian Army added the statement.
