A local court in Rupaidiha, Uttar Pradesh, India, sentenced two British nationals, Sushma Carlin Olivia (61) and Hasan Aman Salim (35), to six months’ imprisonment for illegally entering India from Nepal without valid documentation. The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Pratibha Chowdhry, also imposed a fine of ₹50,000 (approximately $600 USD) on each convict. If they default on the fine, an additional three months of imprisonment will be enforced. The court granted them bail under the condition that they do not leave India during the appeal process. The incident occurred on November 15, 2025, when they were apprehended by Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) personnel and local police at the Indo-Nepal border. Olivia, of Indian origin, and Salim, of Pakistani origin, had traveled to Nepal on valid visas for a medical program but were found lacking the necessary documents to enter India. This case is part of a broader trend of illegal entries at the sensitive Rupaidiha border, which has seen similar incidents involving foreign nationals recently.
