Chinese Army on Sunday revealed that they have found a missing Indian boy from Arunachal Pradesh.

It was suspected that the 17-year-old Arunachal Pradesh boy Miriam Tarom of Zido was abducted by the Chinese PLA.

On January 19, Arunachal East MP Tapir Gao claimed that a 17-year-old youth was abducted from inside the Indian Territory.

Gao claimed that the youth was ‘abducted’ from Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Siang district.

Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh shares an international boundary with China. People from Arunachal Pradesh go to the interior areas along the border for hunting.
