Tapir Gao also stated that another youth who was with Miram managed to escape from the PLA’s clutches and reported the matter to the authorities. The Arunachal East MP also added that the spot of Lungta Jor, from where the youth has been reportedly kidnapped by the PLA, is the area where China built a 3 to 4 kilometre long road inside the Indian Territory. Tapir Gao also called upon the Centre to take up the matter with China.

Meanwhile, no confirmation regarding the matter has come from the government or the army.

It is to be remembered that a similar incident happened in September 2020 when five youths from Arunachal Pradesh were allegedly abducted by the Chinese army from the Sera-7 area of Nacho in Upper Subansiri district.

The youths had gone close to the border during a hunting expedition. The youth were handed over to the Indian army a few days later.
