Two Chinese nationals have been arrested from the Jatahi-Pipraun border in Madhubani district of Bihar after they were allegedly seen taking photographs in the sensitive border area late Wednesday evening.
Madhubani Superintendent of Police Yogendra Kumar confirmed that the two have been nabbed from the India-Nepal border in a joint operation by the district police and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB).
“Both individuals have been arrested under the Foreigners Act 1946. During inspection, we couldn’t find any valid travel documents or visas. During initial questioning, it was revealed that they had been travelling in Nepal for the past three months and have crossed the border in the last few days,” the officer said,
SP Kumar further added: “During our preliminary investigation, we found some questionable content on their mobile phones, which can’t be disclosed right now as investigations are still ongoing. However, we will be taking them on remand for further interrogation, and if needed, we will also seek assistance from central agencies”.
Local sources claimed that some “anti-India videos” have been found on one of the suspect’s phones. They also claimed that while communication was difficult with the suspects — only one of whom spoke some English — translators and language experts were called in to assist with the investigation.
Authorities are now trying to establish the identities, motives and activities of both individuals, officials said.
