The firing incidents along the LOC aren’t tied to official directives from the respective governments though. These are soldiers in close proximity of the enemy acting on real or perceived threats. I doubt that a General or a Prime Minister phones in to the LOC and says “let’s fire a few rounds today for fun”. When you have a highly militarized border between sides that have fought wars, nerves are often strained and soldiers unfortunately do open fire. I’m not saying that a Pak or Indian army command would not direct its soldiers to fire, I’m just saying it’s far from certainty.

So while Pakistan would want them to get involved in Kashmir again, India would want some other organisation to probe.

UNMOGIP is the most logical choice to investigate the incident as they are supposed to be the neutral observers of both sides at the LOC. Nevertheless, I would expect Pakistan would agree to any other international body as well.
