Patna: In a significant development, a team of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) on May 7 arrested four Chinese nationals near Raxaul of Bihar’s East Champaran district.

According to preliminary information, the arrested individuals do not have visas and are constantly changing their statement. They were also reported to be in touch with a Pakistani citizen and had reportedly stayed in Nepal’s capital Katmandu for a week before moving to Bharat on Wednesday.
They were arrested by the personnel of 47th battalion of SSB stationed while they were spotted near the ‘Maitri Bridge’ near Indo-Nepal border at Raxaul. Following the arrest, the SSB brought them to the Haraiya police station.
According to media reports, all of them are currently being interrogated at an undisclosed location.

An alert was sounded at Indo-Nepal border following Bharat carried out precision strikes at 9 locations associated with terror groups in Pakistan and Pakistan Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) under “Operation Sindoor” on May 7.
The strikes were carried out almost a fortnight after Pakistan backed terrorists killed 26 people in a barbaric attack in Pahalgam of Jammu and Kashmir.
