Two Chinese nationals arrested on India-Nepal border for ‘suspicious activities'
Two Chinese nationals have been arrested from the Jatahi-Pipraun border in Madhubani district of Bihar after they were allegedly seen taking photographs in the sensitive border area late Wednesday evening. Madhubani Superintendent of Police Yogendra Kumar confirmed that the two have been nabbed from the India-Nepal border in a joint operation by the district police and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB). 'Both individuals have been arrested under the Foreigners Act 1946. During inspection, we couldn't find any valid travel documents or visas. During initial questioning, it was revealed that they had been travelling in Nepal for the past three months and have crossed the border in the last few days,' the officer said, SP Kumar further added: 'During our preliminary investigation, we found some questionable content on their mobile phones, which can't be disclosed right now as investigations are still ongoing. However, we will be taking them on remand for further interrogation, and if needed, we will also seek assistance from central agencies'. Local sources claimed that some 'anti-India videos' have been found on one of the suspect's phones. They also claimed that while communication was difficult with the suspects — only one of whom spoke some English — translators and language experts were called in to assist with the investigation. Authorities are now trying to establish the identities, motives and activities of both individuals, officials said.

Mysterious Drone-Like Objects Spotted Along India-Nepal Border; IAF, Police On High Alert
In a worrying turn of events along the global border, unknown drone-like flying objects were noticed entering Indian territory from Nepal on Monday evening, prompting a multi-agency alert and increased vigilance across Bihar's Madhubani district. Official sources said that personnel of the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) deployed at the Kamala Border Outpost (BOP) in Jaynagar reported witnessing "mysterious illuminated aerial objects" flying above the India-Nepal border near midnight. The glowing objects are said to have lingered for almost 30 minutes before disappearing back into Nepalese skies. Superintendent of Police Yogendra Kumar confirmed the sightings, saying, "The SSB personnel acted swiftly and informed the Indian Air Force (IAF) bases in Darbhanga and Delhi. Local police units were also alerted, and a formal investigation is now underway." As a response, police stations around the area have increased patrolling activities. "Security has been tightened along the border, and all concerned agencies are coordinating closely to monitor the situation," SP Kumar said. The porous India-Nepal border in Bihar has historically been a hotspot for smuggling, human trafficking, and unauthorised movement. Officials remain on edge, particularly in view of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's upcoming two-day visit to the state starting May 29. This incident comes amid growing concerns about aerial surveillance, trans-border security breaches, and the potential misuse of drone technology for illicit activities. The authorities have not so far established the origin or nature of the objects, but investigations are ongoing with the help of local police, central intelligence agencies, and the IAF.
