We can count at least 40 Indian soldiers and their liens go and it becomes hard to count. if China says they captured 100 Indian soldiers, it will be a believable claim.
China never said how many they captured.
First time the Ladakh crisis was reported, they said in March some fights happened and Indians "subdued" but never about how many.
Then the whole thing became big news and standoff was reported by both and June fight where Chinese side just said both sides had casualties. Chinese side keeps being sensible one managing information due to knowing how butthurt these indians can get and even then they still rioted and burned Chinese flags and Xi pictures and banned apps. Then only after we created buffer zone after December, they released more information in much calmer environment and released some videos which were not too inflammatory just showing that Indians were armed with sticks and helmets too and Chinese some had helmets and some had just hats. Indians also had rifles and many sticks contrary to Indian government and media claims between March and August.
Then after the fighting in June they said they have captives which were returned following days of fight and still held onto senior level officers for around a week but returned those 10 senior officers as well.
We captured at least 10 of their senior officers and undisclosed number captured of normal soldiers of low rank. The number is not said by India or China to save Modi some face otherwise he will maybe be forced to do certain stupid things that neither side wants but now you see Indians on their forums shouting for blood. This is the reaction China wanted to try and save Modi from.
Anyway Indian bhakts are too stupid on average and the bhakts definitely occupy the lower half of stupid in their country. Now they are shouting for blood and butt so sore just from some pictures. PLA and China only release 1% of details just to save Modi from being forced to war. Now he wanted to make some bullshit about PLA being detained in Tawang by Indian army so CCP probably released a few pictures because they sense the Indians want to play some stupid propaganda game with false story of detaining PLA.
We see Indian government VERY quickly rush to say they did not detain PLA. You see they are caught on the act and quickly try to stop their blunder. Now Indian gov and many Indian media is quickly denying they have detained PLA and denying any serious violence happened. Maybe just some typical patrols happened and they wanted to exaggerate the story to say China tried invading and strong brave indian supa powa soldier single handed defeat and detained 100 PLA or bullshit numbers they like making up.
