New Delhi, June 19: The Chinese army on Thursday evening returned from its custody 10 Indian soldiers, including two officers, involved in Monday’s violent face-off in the Galwan River Valley, ‘Indian Express’ reported Friday.
These soldiers were handed over on the LAC after hectic negotiations between the two sides, including three rounds of talks at the Major General level from Tuesday to Thursday, officials said.
As per practice, these soldiers were medically examined and provided a preliminary debriefing. This was the first time after the 1962 Sino-India War that Indian soldiers were taken into custody by the Chinese side, the report added.
