NEW DELHI—The Indian army has arrested a Chinese soldier who it says crossed to the Indian side of the disputed border in the area south of the Pangong Tso lake.
“The PLA soldier had transgressed across the LAC [line of actual control] and was taken into custody by Indian troops deployed in this area. Troops from either side are deployed along the LAC since friction erupted last year due to unprecedented mobilization and forward concentration by Chinese troops,” the Indian army said on Jan. 9, according to Indian news magazine India Today.
