Patna : 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. 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.
Intelligence reports suggest they had reached Kathmandu in the second week of August and entered Bihar last week. 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. 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. India shares land borders with seven countries: China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar and Afghanistan.
