According to reports, the state authorities got the information of Miran's abduction as one of his friends named Johny Yaiying somehow managed to escape from the clutches of PLA and reported to officials regarding the kidnapping of his friend Miran.

Both Miran Taron and his friend Johny Yaiying are local hunters and are a resident of Zido village in Arunachal Pradesh.

The state MP also informed that the kidnapping incident occurred very close to the area where Tsangpo River (upper stream of the Brahmaputra River in China) enters India through Arunachal Pradesh.

Tapir Gao said that he talked about the matter with the Union Minister for Home Nisith Pamanik and urged to take quick and required action in the abduction case of the teenage boy.

In order of tracing the lost boy with the aid of the Indian government, the state MP in his tweet tagged Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
