Plaint filed with UN working group on forced disappearance of Arunachal man allegedly abducted by PLA

He was allegedly abducted by the China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on September 11, 2015 from Taji Bogo Pass under Manigong Circle in Shi-Yomi District (earlier West Siang District) in Arunachal Pradesh (India) near Indo-China border.

The body stated the whereabouts and fate of Tapor Pullom, who was about 40 years at the time of his alleged abduction by the Chinese PLA, remain unknown as of today. The Government of India, State Government of Arunachal Pradesh and its agencies have failed to respond to the repeated requests by the family members to bring back the victim.

The RRAG’s Director Suhas Chakma after being authorized by the family members of Tapor Pullom requested the WGEID to intervene with the Government of the People’s Republic of China for his early and safe release.

“In the last six years, Tapor Pullom’s wife had passed away and his five children and one daughter in law, who believe their father is still alive, are awaiting his return. The unending wait is very painful for the entire family and this case ought to conclude with the Government of the People’s Republic of China immediately releasing Tapor Pullom.”- stated Suhas Chakma.

Last month a massive protest was held in Monigong circle in Arunachal Pradesh against China demanding release of Tapor Pullom.

All Shajee Youth Association and the local unit of the Adi Bane Kebang held the protest alleging that Pullom is in PLA custody.

Following the safe return of Miram Taron, Member of Parliament from Arunachal Pradesh Tapir Gao raised the matter of Tapor Pullom, who went missing in 2015.

Indian Army handed over Arunachal Pradesh teenager Miram Taron to his family. On January 27, Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) handed over Taron to the Indian Army. He had gone missing since January 18 while he was at the international border.
