  • The Chinese soldier apparently entered the Indian territory inadvertently after losing his way, reported India Today. However, the Indian Army is yet to confirm the same officially.

    The PLA was reportedly informed of their soldier in India's custody, and both sides are in touch over the matter. He is likely to be returned to China on Saturday or Sunday after the investigations are completed.

  • Interestingly, this development comes amid the ongoing border tensions in the region between India and China.

    So far, both sides have held multiple rounds of talks in a bid to deescalate the tensions and put an end to the military standoff that erupted in May last year. The last round was held on November 6; however, no solution to the deadlock has been found.

  • Second incident

  • This is the second time that a PLA soldier has been apprehended on the LAC's Indian side in recent months.

    To recall, in October 2020, a Chinese PLA soldier, identified as Corporal Wang Ya Long, strayed across the LAC and was captured in the Demchok sector in eastern Ladakh by Indian troops. He was returned to China three days later, after completing the formalities.
