New Delhi (CNN) A Chinese soldier was apprehended on the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC), south of the Pangong Tso lake in the Ladakh region on Friday, the Indian Army said in a statement. The Chinese soldier was taken into custody by Indian troops after crossing over the LAC, the de facto border between the two countries . The reason for the soldier's crossing of the LAC is being investigated, the statement said. The LAC, which marks the de facto border, passes through the lake. Troops from both sides have been deployed along the LAC since a bloody clash between Indian and Chinese troops in June marked the deadliest border conflict in more than 40 years.
