Itanagar: Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) abducted an Indian youth from Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh on January 18, BJP MP from Arunachal Pradesh Tapir Gao informed on Wednesday (January 19) through his Twitter handle.
According to MP Gao, the abducted youth by the PLA has been identified as 17 years old Miram Taron. Speaking to 'Organise' MP Tapir Gao said Miram Taron and his friends went fishing in the Lungta Jor area on the 18th evening. The Chinese PLA abducted Miram from the Lungta Jor area. His friend Johny Yayaying(27) somehow escaped and informed the villagers, Gao added.
