Bihar Police on Red Alert After Three Jaish-e-Mohammed Operatives Infiltrate via Nepal Border Ahead of State Elections

Bihar Police Tightens Security After Jaish Operatives Infiltrate Through Nepal Border

Bihar Police Headquarters has issued a statewide high alert after receiving specific intelligence that three operatives linked to the Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) have entered India through the Nepal border. The alert comes at a crucial time as the state gears up for upcoming assembly elections, making it a sensitive target for disruptive activities. According to officials, the warning is based on credible inputs shared by central agencies, which prompted the immediate circulation of detailed alerts to all districts.

The timing of this alert has intensified concerns, as any terror-related activity could disturb law and order in a politically sensitive environment. Bihar Police has urged all district units, especially those along border areas, to maintain round-the-clock surveillance.

Suspects Identified—Sketches and Passport Details Shared

Authorities have released sketches and travel documents of the three suspected infiltrators. The men have been identified as Hasnain Ali from Rawalpindi, Adil Hussain from Umarkot, and Mohammad Usman from Bahawalpur. Their movements were reportedly tracked from Pakistan to Nepal before slipping into Bihar.

Police have circulated their sketches and passport details across railway stations, bus depots, marketplaces, hotels, and other crowded public spaces to maximize awareness and increase the chances of identification. This measure is meant not only to assist security forces but also to involve civilians in spotting potential threats.

Nepal Connection: How the Infiltration Happened

The infiltration route, as per preliminary investigations, began in Kathmandu where the three men are believed to have arrived in the second week of August. From there, they allegedly used local networks to cross over into Bihar during the third week of August.

The open Indo-Nepal border, while facilitating ease of movement for citizens, has long posed a security challenge due to its vulnerability to misuse by terror groups. In this case, the possibility of logistical support from local handlers is being actively investigated.

High-Risk Districts Under Tight Watch

Police have increased deployment in vulnerable border districts including Purnea, Katihar, Araria, Kishanganj, Supaul, Madhubani, Sitamarhi, East Champaran, and West Champaran. These regions have a direct link to the Nepal border and are therefore considered possible entry or exit points for infiltrators.

Apart from border districts, enhanced security checks are also being conducted in Patna and other urban centers where large gatherings, political rallies, or public celebrations could become potential targets. Vigilance at transport hubs, such as railway junctions and bus terminals, has been significantly tightened.

Coordination Between Agencies Intensified

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Bihar Police is working in close coordination with the Intelligence Bureau (IB), Special Task Force (STF), and Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) which guards the Nepal border. Joint teams are carrying out search operations in suspected hideouts and monitoring communication channels for any suspicious activity.

Sources suggest that security drills, mock checks, and random frisking operations are also being carried out to prepare local police forces for any emergency response scenario. The collaboration between state and central agencies reflects the seriousness with which this alert is being handled.

Public Advisory—Citizens as Key Stakeholders

While security forces remain on high alert, authorities have also appealed to the public to stay vigilant. People have been advised to immediately report any suspicious movements, abandoned bags, or unknown individuals who match the released sketches.

The police have set up helpline numbers and quick response teams in major districts to ensure swift action on public inputs. By involving citizens in the alert process, authorities aim to expand their network of eyes and ears, especially in crowded or remote areas where police presence may not be as strong.

Political and Social Sensitivity Adds to Concern

The infiltration comes at a time when Bihar is preparing for elections, which are often accompanied by large public rallies, processions, and gatherings. Intelligence agencies fear that the intent of the infiltrators could be to destabilize peace, spread panic, or create an environment of insecurity to influence the democratic process.

In the past, Bihar has been used as a transit point by terror operatives due to its porous borders and strategic location. The fresh alert has once again highlighted the importance of strengthening border surveillance and community policing in the state.

Conclusion—Security First Amid Rising Challenges

The entry of three suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorists into Bihar has pushed the state into a heightened state of alert. With sketches and identity details released, and security forces maintaining strict vigilance across districts, the government is determined to prevent any untoward incident.

The incident also serves as a reminder of the constant need for strong border security, inter-agency cooperation, and public awareness in countering terror threats. As the election season approaches, Bihar Police remains focused on ensuring that peace and stability are preserved across the state.
