The Indian Army on Friday crossed a Line of Actual Control (LAC) and captured a Chinese soldier on the southern coast of Pangong Tso (lake) in eastern Ladakh. The Indian Army has returned the Chinese soldier at a time when the deadlock between the armies of the two countries in East Ladakh has been continuing for the past eight months. The army had said that a soldier of the People’s Liberation Army of China had crossed the LAC and entered the Indian border. After this, he was taken into custody by the Indian soldiers stationed there. During interrogation, the soldier told that he had lost the way.
The Chinese military in Beijing confirmed that one of its jawans had lost its way in the China-India border areas. The PLA’s official website said that a soldier of China’s People’s Liberation Army Advance Defense Force lost its way to the China-India border early Friday due to the dark and complex geographical location. India has been informed in this regard. The Indian side can help find and rescue the missing Chinese jawan.
