Abducted Arunachal Teen Kicked, Given Electric Shock in Chinese Custody, Alleges Father

ITANAGAR: As per the new development in the abduction case of Arunachal Pradesh, the Arunachal boy who was kidnapped by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China on 18 January has reunited with his family members on Monday.

On Tuesday 1 February, the official shared the information of the teenage boy reuniting with his family. The official informed that the Indian Army helped in the reunion of the young Arunachal boy Miram Taron with his parents and family members.

Miran Taron met his parents on Monday 31st January during an event in the Tuting area of Upper Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh. He got reunited with families after more than a week.

The panchayat representatives of the area and local administration took initiative to welcome the boy in his village with warm greetings.

Meanwhile the father of the teen boy, Opang Taron stated that his son got mentally disturbed after the torture that he faced throughout the incident.

Opang claims that during the one week time when his son was in detention, he was tied and blindfolded by the Chinese Army.

He further claimed that during the initial days Miram was kicked in the back and also given mild electric shocks. The PLA armies kept him blindfolded for most of the time during the detention period and his hands were tied for the entire period except for eating purposes.

The Chinese army could only untie him on certain conditions whenever it is very much required added Opang. He also said that he was not allowed to eat as they provide him only with very sufficient food.

As per the result of whatever happened in Chinese custody, Miram is still suffering from mental shock said the father.

Miram was allegedly kidnapped by the PLA of China on 18 January when he went hunting near the Line of Actual Control along with his friend named Johny Yaying.

Johny on that day succeeded in escaping from the spot and was able to explain the entire incident to the concerned authorities.

The Chinese Army on 27 January handed over Taron to Indian Army at the Wacha-Damai interaction point located in the Anjaw district.

Since then he was kept in isolation under the observation of the Indian Army and other legal formalities were completed by that time before he was reunited with family on Monday.
