Uttar Pradesh: Chinese National Arrested For Entering India Without Documents Via Indo-Nepal Border

Maharajganj (UP): A suspected Chinese national was arrested on Friday after she allegedly attempted to enter India without valid visa and passport documents via the Indo-Nepal border in Maharajganj district, officials said.

Around 1 pm on Friday, the woman was spotted entering India via a footpath in Bairia Bazaar, in Nautanwa area adjoining the India-Nepal border. She was intercepted by security personnel during a routine check.

Subsequently, she was detained by Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel after it was found that she did not possess necessary travel documents, a senior official said.

She was later handed over to the police who arrested her. Station House Officer (SHO), Nautanwa, Purushottam Rao said the woman has been identified as Huajia Jie of China, based on a slip found with her.

"Investigations are underway to determine her city of origin and the purpose of her visit to India. Due to language barriers, no specific information has been collected yet," he added.
