India terms as incorrect report of firing by Chinese troops

New Delhi, Sep 15 (PTI) India Tuesday termed as
"incorrect" a media report which said that two Indo Tibetan
Border Police (ITBP) jawans were injured in firing by Chinese
troops in Sikkim recently.

"A media report about two ITBP jawans having been
injured due to firing from across the Line of Actual Control
(LAC) has come to notice. The report is factually incorrect,"
India External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vishnu Prakash
said in a statement.

The report had claimed that the ITBP jawans were
injured when Chinese troops had fired at them in Kerang in
northern Sikkim about a fortnight ago. PTI
