The 17–year–old youth from Arunachal Pradesh, Miram Taron, who went missing early last week was handed over by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to the Army at Damai, Border Personnel Meeting (BPM) Point, across Anjaw district of Arunachal Pradesh on Thursday. The PLA termed the incident as an “illegal entry” into Chinese territory by an “Indian personnel”.
“The Chinese PLA handed over the young boy from Arunachal Pradesh Shri Miram Taron to Indian Army at Wacha-Damai interaction point in Arunachal Pradesh today. I thank our proud Indian Army for pursuing the case meticulously with PLA and safely securing our young boy back home,” Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju said on Twitter. Due procedures are being followed including the medical examination, he said.
