Patna: A high security alert was sounded in Bihar Friday following intelligence reports that six Pakistani-trained terrorists have entered the state from Nepal, officials said.
Bihar police chief Anand Shankar said that a high security alert has been sounded after the reported entry of six terrorists, and all police officials have been asked to keep a close vigil on movement of suspects.
"Police are alert and ordered to maintain constant vigil at important places, including railway stations, bus stands, temples and markets," he said.
Police sources said the Intelligence Bureau had informed Bihar police about infiltration of six well-trained terrorists from Nepal. "The terrorists have sneaked into Araria district from Nepal after killing an ISI agent in the neighbouring country Dec 27," the sources said.
"Soon after receiving the intelligence reports, police headquarters alerted superintendents of police of districts bordering Nepal to put tight security and to launch operations to arrest them," police officials said.
