The People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldier is being addressed consistent with laid down procedures and therefore the circumstances under which he crossed the LAC are being investigated, the sources said.
"During early hours of 08 January 21, a Chinese soldier was apprehended on the Indian side of the LAC, in Ladakh, a neighborhood South of Pangong Tso lake. The PLA soldier had transgressed across the LAC and was taken into custody by Indian troops deployed during this area," a politician said.

Troops from either side are deployed along the LAC since friction erupted last year thanks to unprecedented mobilization and forward concentration by Chinese troops.
