The government said it is checking the matter. Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju told reporters, "We have to check whether this incident was intrusion or not. Only then can any action be taken."
The incident came a month after a Chinese bomber violated the Indian airspace in the Aksai Chin area near the international border in Ladakh. On June 9, another incursion by the Chinese troops into the Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh had led to a minor scuffle and triggered tension between the two countries.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat today confirmed an incursion by a helicopter belonging to China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) in his state's Chamoli district on July 19.
The chopper is reported to have hovered over the Indian airspace for nearly five minutes before it disappeared and flew back. A report on the intrusion was sent by the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) to the central government.
"The information is true and the situation is worrisome. Our border area has been peaceful so far and since the beginning we have demanded to increase vigilance," Rawat told reporters. "The good thing is they did not touch an important canal there," he added.
