SSB detains four Chinese nationals who were trying to infiltrate into India via Nepal border

New Delhi, May 10

The Sashatra Seema Bal (SSB) detained four Chinese nationals who were trying to infiltrate into India via Nepal border amid the heightened tensions between India and Pakistan following Operation Sindoor.

The four Chinese nationals were attempting to enter India via the Nepalese border along Bihar's Raxaul. The quartet were not carrying any legal documents required to authorise their entry into India, officials said. 

The SSB stated that inspection, detection and investigation of any suspicious movement along the India-Nepal border has been beefed up in the wake of heightened tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, which claimed the lives of 26 tourists last month.

Vehicles are being thoroughly inspected, while driving licences and other ID proofs and documents of people travelling to and from Nepal are being checked, SSB further added. 

Tensions between India and Pakistan spiralled after Pahalgam attack, in response to which India carried out precision strikes against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoK on May 7 and 8.
