Indian Bureau of Immigration officials detained an Indonesian woman who was allegedly posing as a Kolkata resident at the Sonauli border in Uttar Pradesh while trying to cross into Nepal.
According to official reports, the apprehension took place in Maharajganj district as border authorities conducted routine checks on travellers heading toward Nepal.
Immigration officers became suspicious when the woman failed to speak Hindi properly during initial questioning and inspection of her documents.
The woman identified herself as Li Kim Lien and told investigators that she was the president of an NGO that assists Buddhist monks with travel to China.
Indian authorities are examining her claims, documentation, and suspected foreign links as part of the ongoing border investigation.
The Sonauli crossing is a major transit route between India and Nepal where security and travel checks are strictly enforced.
