5 missing Arunachal civilians found on Chinese side: Kiren Rijiju

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Tuesday said that the five missing youths from Arunachal Pradesh have been found on the Chinese side. Rijiju said the process to handover the youths is being worked out. Earlier, it was reported that five persons had been abducted by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). The reports came amid border tensions between India and China.

Background
5 youths went missing while hunting in jungle

The five youths belong to the Tagin tribe in Arunachal Pradesh who were reportedly working as porters and guides for the Indian Army. They have been identified as Toch Singkam, Prasat Ringling, Dongtu Ebiya, Tanu Baker and Ngaru Diri. They were part of a seven-member group hunting in a jungle in the Upper Subansiri district near Nacho.

Abduction
Reports said the 5 had been abducted by Chinese forces

The two others who managed to escape informed that the five had been abducted by Chinese troops from Sera-7, an Army patrol zone north of Nacho. The issue was highlighted by MP Tapir Gao, who tweeted on Saturday, "5 Tagin youths have been abducted by China's #PLA from Sera7 below the McMahon Line under Indian territory in Upper Subansiri in Arunachal since 3rd Sept."

China's stand
China dismissed question about missing youths yesterday

China on Monday dismissed queries about the reported abduction of the five youths by the PLA. When asked about an update on the missing Indian nationals, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said, "I'm not aware of the situation you mentioned." Zhao added, "China has never recognized so-called "Arunachal Pradesh," which is China's south Tibet region."

History
In March, PLA had abducted Arunachal youth from Asapila sector

Earlier in March, a 21-year-old youth, Togley Sinkam, had been abducted by the PLA from Asapila sector near the McMahon Line. The youth was taken away at gunpoint while his two friends managed to escape, his family had said at the time. He was released after spending 19 days as a captive of the Chinese forces.
