    "I was scared but wasn't even capable of weeping out of dread. I was shivering. They said some things and kicked me, then kicked me again two to three times. They gave me electric shocks twice," the 17-year old added.

    Miram Taron and his hunting partner Johnny Yaying went hunting near the Line of Actual Control. 27-year-old Yaying was holding a gun and managed to flee, though Miram was hooked up, blindfolded and carried to a Chinese base where he was tied to a wooden post. 

    Miram further expressed that he was feeling unconscious and terrified. "They were chatting, but I couldn't comprehend their speech, so I simply sat there...my entire body was quivering," he recalled.
