Family: Indian teen tortured by Chinese troops

New Delhi: An Indian teenager detained, for more than a week, by Chinese troops along the nations’ disputed Himalayan frontier was tortured while in captivity, his family said Thursday. Miram Teron was on a hunting trip in Arunachal Pradesh when he was taken into custody by soldiers from the People’s Liberation Army. The 17-year-old was repatriated nine days later but his father said he had been kicked and given “electric shocks” while detained. “Miram’s hand still has the marks left by the handcuffs. He is weak and in a state of shock,” Apang Teron said.
