As per Congress MLA Ninong Ering “China's PLA (People's Liberation Army) has abducted 5 boys from Nacho, Upper Subansiri in Arunachal Pradesh.”

The claims have not been confirmed by Army officials yet. They are in contact with local units for gathering information and will subsequently release the information.
As per posts on social media, the names of the five abducted boys are:
- Tanu Bakar
- Prasat Ringling
- Ngaru Diri
- Dongtu Ebiya
- Toch Singkam
An official confirmation in this regard is awaited.

However, the talks between the two leaders did not seem fruitful again, as China tried to blame India for the ongoing border tensions in Ladakh.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was told by his Chinese counterpart Wei Fenghe during their meeting in Moscow that "responsibility (recent events in Ladakh) lies entirely with India", China's Ministry of Defence has claimed.
