Earlier, Chinese soldiers reportedly kidnapped five boys from a village in Arunachal Pradesh. There were two more people along with the boys who managed to save themselves. The incident is from Nacho region which falls in Subansiri district.
State Congress MLA Ninong Ering gave this information on Twitter and also gave the names of the abducted boys. Ering said, “Chinese soldiers have abducted five boys living in Nacho town. The incident happened at a time when Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is meeting the Defense Ministers of Russia and China. This act of the People’s Liberation Army will send a very wrong message. China must be given a suitable answer.”
According to the local media reports, all five of the abducted boys belong to the Tagin community. Chinese soldiers took them from the forest of Nacho area. This area falls in Subansiri district. Information about the incident was revealed through a relative of the abducted boy. After this, the Congress MLA took notice and tweeted. The names of the five abducted boys are Tok Singkam, Prasat Ringling, Dongtu Ibia, Tanu Baker and Nagaru Diri.
