High Alert Issued Across Bihar
Patna, August 28 — Bihar Police Headquarters has issued a high alert after intelligence inputs suggested that three Pakistani terrorists have infiltrated the state. According to sources, the suspected militants — identified as Hasnain from Rawalpindi, Adil from Umerkot, and Usman from Bahawalpur — reportedly entered Bihar through Nepal.
All district police units have been directed to intensify security checks and remain on high vigilance. Photos of the three suspects have been circulated to aid identification. The move comes amid fears that the infiltrators may attempt a major terror attack.
Entry Through Nepal Suspected
Investigators believe the trio traveled from Pakistan to Kathmandu in mid-August before crossing into Bihar through the Araria district last week. Bihar Police officials have not yet released an official statement, but intelligence agencies are working closely with local law enforcement to trace their movements.
Security agencies suspect that the terrorists’ objective could involve carrying out attacks in Bihar or other parts of the country. The border with Nepal, known for its porous terrain, has often been used by infiltrators due to relatively less strict monitoring compared to international borders.
Security Strengthened in Vulnerable Districts
Following the alert, police have increased patrolling in border districts like Araria, Kishanganj, and Sitamarhi, which share open borders with Nepal. Special surveillance has been deployed at bus stands, railway stations, and highways.
Officials have also urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. Intelligence sources warned that the infiltration attempt may be linked to larger networks operating across South Asia.
No Official Confirmation Yet
Although multiple intelligence inputs confirm the suspected infiltration, the Bihar Police Headquarters has not issued an official public statement. Sources say authorities are avoiding panic and are focusing on quiet but intensive monitoring.
However, the urgency of the high alert indicates the seriousness of the threat. Security experts suggest that Bihar may have been chosen as an entry point due to its open border and connectivity to other states, making it a strategic passage for militants.
Ongoing Investigation
Search operations have been launched across vulnerable areas. Police are checking hotels, guest houses, and transport hubs for potential hideouts. Coordination with central agencies, including the Intelligence Bureau and National Investigation Agency, is expected to intensify in the coming days.
Authorities have appealed to the public to avoid spreading rumors and rely only on official updates. The situation is under close review, and more details are expected once security forces verify intelligence reports.
