GUWAHATI: The five boys of Arunachal Pradesh are yet to be handed over to India by China, family member of one of the boys said.
“No, they haven’t returned so far. Yesterday we enquired with the Army and we were told that the formalities would take another two to three days before China hands them over,” said Prakash Ringling, the elder brother of one of the boys Prasad.

day after Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian denied having any knowledge about the youths.

Seven youths from Nacho town in Upper Subansiri district had gone to the border area and two of their friends, who managed to return home, told villagers that the five have been abducted from Sera-7 area, an Army patrolling area located on the border.
On Friday, Prakash Ringling said in an FB post that his brother, Prasad, and four others have been “abducted” from Sera-7 by “Chinese PLA.” The other four are Tanu Bakar, Ngaru Diri, Dongtu Ebiya and Toch Singkam.
