Officials say this is the second time the duo tried to enter India illegally
PATNA, BIHAR: Officials at the Immigration Office on the India-Nepal border have apprehended two Chinese nationals, Zhao Jing and Foon Kang, at Maitree Bridge in Raxaul, Bihar on Saturday night while attempting to enter the Indian side.
Hailing from Jiangxi province in China, both individuals were found to lack valid passports and visas required for entry into Indian territory. During the arrest, security agencies discovered two mobile phones and around 14 thousand Nepali rupees in their possession. The authorities are currently interrogating the suspects amid concerns that they may have been involved in activities related to the Indo-Nepal border areas.
Previous records reveal that both Chinese citizens attempted to enter Indian territory on July 2. However, upon discovering their lack of valid documentation, officials warned them and returned them to Nepal. Subsequently, they were found staying in Parsa, within the Virganj district bordering Nepal. Information about their hotel reservation in Virganj and their intended destination after crossing the border remains unknown.
