A Congress leader from Arunachal Pradesh on Saturday claimed that the Chinese army has abducted 5 people from the Upper Subansiri district of the state. He tweeted a Facebook post which mentions the names of the 5 people who are allegedly abducted.

He didn’t clarify when the incident happened. He also claimed that a similar incident had occurred a few months ago and that China should be given a ‘befitting reply’. This allegation comes at a time when border tensions between India and China have been rising. After military provocations by China in Ladakh near LAC India had secured the Eastern border by moving in additional troops and equipments. The Indian army chief had also visited the Western border and reviewed the military preparations.
