NEW DELHI: The Indian Army handed over PLA soldier Corporal Wang Ya Long to the Chinese Army on early Wednesday morning. The PLA soldier was apprehended after he inadvertently crossed over into Indian territory in the Demchok sector of eastern Ladakh on Monday.
Corporal Wang Ya Lon , who had his identity card in his pocket and belongs to Shangxizhen town of central Zhejiang province in China, was disoriented when he was taken into custody by Indian troops in the Demchok sector, as reported by TOI on Monday.
“He will be handed over to the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) at the Chushul-Moldo border point after the formalities are completed, as per the protocol, within the next few days,” the Indian Army had said on Tuesday.
The incident took place when India and China are preparing for the eighth round of corps commander-level talks later this week.
