The families of the youth suspect that they might have crossed over to China and have appealed to the Centre to trace them and bring them back safe.
“We’re doubting that they crossed the Indian boundary and were abducted by China. We appeal to the central government to help trace them,” said the elder brother of one of the missing youths.
