Police said the bodies of the four soldiers were sent to the Bathinda civil hospital for an autopsy.
Mr Gandhi from Bathinda police told Reuters that the search for the assailants was still underway.
“The attackers had only one rifle. The weapon carried by the other attacker is still being investigated,” he added.
Meanwhile, the army on Thursday said that another soldier at the military station had died of a gunshot wound at around 4.30 pm on Wednesday.
However, it said the incident was not related to the shooting and “purportedly seemed to be of attempted suicide”.
