 New Delhi: Three foreign nationals,
including a Pakistani, have been arrested along the Indo-Nepal
border while trying to enter India without proper travel
documents, raising serious concern in the Home Ministry.
Highly placed sources said one Israeli, one German and
a Pakistani were arrested recently during regular checking
by the border guarding force SSB.
The Home Ministry has directed the SSB to beef up
security along the 1,751-km long Indo-Nepal border as there
have been reports of Pakistan-based militant organisations
trying to send terrorists to India through the border.
"As the Indo-Nepal border is open and porous in nature
and citizens of India and Nepal can cross over it freely, the
nationals of other country were trying to take advantage of
it. They were carrying no valid travel documents," an official
said.
"We are concerned over the reports that areas along the
Indo-Nepal border have been used by elements inimical to the
country," the official said.
The arrests came days before India decided to fortify its
embassy in Nepal following a threat of a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT)
attack.
Suspected Indian Mujahideen militant Salman Ahmed was
arrested by security forces in Siddharth Nagar district of
Uttar Pradesh on March six.
Under its so-called 'Karachi Project', IM sends Indian
youths to Pakistan for terror training and again push back
them to the country, many of them through Indo-Nepal border,
to carry out subversive activities, the official said. |
