Ten Indian soldiers, including four officers, had been detained by the Chinese Army after the violent clashes of June 15 in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed in action. They are all back with the Indian side now. The release of the men, including two Majors, came about after three days of negotiations in the Galwan Valley headed by a Major General of the Army.
NDTV had held back the story while the soldiers were being detained by the Chinese to ensure no risk to negotiations.
The Army, while not commenting on the details of the release, has said that all soldiers involved in the clash with the Chinese have now been accounted for.
"It is clarified that there are no Indian troops missing in action," the Army said in a brief statement on Thursday.
