India Today: The Bihar Police Headquarters on Thursday issued a statewide high alert after receiving intelligence reports about the entry of Pakistan-based terrorists into the state. According to senior officials, three suspected operatives of the terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed crossed into Bihar through the Nepal border.
The suspects have been identified as Hasnain Ali from Rawalpindi, Adil Hussain from Umerkot and Mohammad Usman from Bahawalpur, as per information shared by the Bihar Police.
The headquarters has shared passport-related details of the suspects with police in border districts. Security agencies have been instructed to increase surveillance and collect intelligence. District intelligence units have been asked to take the necessary action based on any suspicious activity.
In Bihar, security was beefed up along the Indo-Nepal border and Seemanchal districts in May following Operation Sindoor and Assembly elections due later this year. Patrolling had been intensified in border areas including Madhubani, Sitamarhi, Supaul, Araria, East and West Champaran districts.
It may be noted that Bihar shares approximately 729-kilometres of open border with Nepal and has long made it a key hotspot for infiltration and cross-border movement. Seven districts in the state lie directly along this porous frontier, posing major challenges for continuous surveillance and security enforcement.
India shares land borders with seven countries: China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Afghanistan. The nation also shares maritime boundaries with Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Indonesia.
