Upper Subansiri district Superintendent of Police Taru Gussar said that the five kidnapped persons still remained untraced while their family members are yet to inform the police."People from this area go to the forest for hunting, which is a traditional practice among the tribals of this region. I cannot say anything till I get any confirmation about what exactly happened," Gussar told IANS over phone.Meanwhile, Congress' deputy leader in the Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, has urged Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to ensure the safe return of five youth from Arunachal Pradesh."I am writing to you to register my grave concern regarding the condition of the five young men from Arunachal Pradesh who have gone missing from the Upper Subansiri district during a hunting exercise. Their family members have made statements alleging that they have been abducted, holding the Chinese People's Liberation Army responsible for the incident," Gogoi wrote to Rajnath Singh.Kiren Rijiju, Union Youth Affairs and Sports Minister and an MP from the state, had earlier said that the Indian Army has sent a hotline message to the PLA about the reported abduction of five persons from Arunachal Pradesh by Chinese soldiers.In response to a query on the issue, Rijiju said in a tweet that the PLA's response to the hotline message is still awaited.Tezpur-based defence spokesman Lt Col Harsh Wardhan Pande said on Tuesday: "There is no response to the hotline message yet."The state's Directorate of Information and Public Relations tweeted: "Arunachal Govt is closely monitoring the case of 5 missing boys in Nacho village, Upper Subansiri District. District Administration has been directed to assist all concerned agencies to trace the missing boys."Congress MLA Ninong Ering had earlier claimed that five residents of a border village were abducted by China's PLA on September 4, triggering tension among the local population.Ering, an MLA from Pasighat West, had tweeted: "Five people from Upper Subansiri district of our state Arunachal Pradesh have reportedly been 'abducted' by China's PLA.
