Chinese Man Held At India-Bangladesh Border Over "Suspicious Activities"

A Chinese passport with a Bangladeshi visa, a laptop and three SIM cards were found with the man identified by security officials as Han Junwei

A 35-year-old Chinese was intercepted by the Border Security Force near the India and Bangladesh border today, officials have said. He was detained in West Bengal's Malda district near the border over "suspicious activities", they said. A Chinese passport with a Bangladeshi visa, a laptop and three SIM cards were found with the man identified by security officials as Han Junwei. "He was intercepted at 7 am. We brought him to Kaliachak post and informed other agencies. He is being questioned by them," a senior officer told NDTV, asking not to be named. The officer said the Chinese "intruder" doesn't seem to know English and so they had difficulty in communicating with him initially. "A security officer who knows Mandarin was then called. He is being questioned by intelligence agencies now," the officer said.
