Overview

• Police identified the suspects as Hasnain Ali of Rawalpindi, Adil Hussain of Umerkot and Mohammad Usman of Bahawalpur, circulating their photographs and passport details to all districts.
• Intelligence inputs say the trio reached Kathmandu in mid‑August and crossed into Bihar around August 15, reportedly via the Araria sector on the porous India–Nepal border.
• Sashastra Seema Bal, airport and railway units and district police intensified checks, patrols and surveillance at border points, transport hubs and high‑footfall sites including Bodh Gaya and Rajgir.
• Director General of Police Vinay Kumar confirmed a statewide alert while withholding operational specifics, and authorities have not announced any arrests.
• The alert coincides with the election campaign, and security for political events was tightened, with Rahul Gandhi’s yatra shifting to closed‑vehicle movement and some stops curtailed near border districts.
