Jio Jiang Shi, a Chinese National, identified as a resident of Fujian Province on the Southern Coast of China, entered India via the Indo-Nepal border, without proper documentation.

On Friday (17th Dec), he was detained at the Gandhi Chowk Market in Madhwapur, near Pillar 295/2, the international border. SSB has an open border between India and Nepal. SSB officers detained him there as his activities were suspicious. The fact that he was holding the Pan Card in his hand raised suspicions.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MEA) has also been informed about the suspected Chinese National. Chandra Sehgar, SSB Commandant, 14th Battalion said that the arrested Chinese National knew English.
