Three Chinese diplomats were arrested at Dibrugarh Airport in Assam on March 27, raising questions about the purpose of their visit to the region. Upon their arrival at Dibrugarh airport, the passports presented by the Chinese delegation were impounded.
They are currently undergoing interrogation at Mohanbari Airport under the supervision of the Dibrugarh district administration. Officials, including a team from DSB branches and a magistrate, are scrutinising the diplomats' documents.
Their primary objective is to verify whether the individuals have the required permits issued by the Home Ministry of India. Initial reports suggest that the detained individuals intended to visit the war memorial in Margherita.
However, the circumstances surrounding their visit and the nature of their activities in the region remain unclear. The detention of Chinese diplomats has garnered attention and raised concerns about the delicate geopolitics in the region. Situated in northeastern India, Assam shares a border with China, making it a strategically significant area for security considerations.
While officials are still forthcoming, the case underscores heightened vigilance and scrutiny over foreign visits, particularly diplomatic ones, to sensitive border areas. Speculation surrounds the potential purposes of the diplomatic visit and whether it adhered to diplomatic protocol.
The ongoing interviews and document verification are expected to shed light on the motives behind their presence in Assam. As the situation unfolds, officials are anticipated to provide further clarification on the matter, including the diplomatic response arising from the detention of Chinese diplomats.
The incident serves as a reminder of the intricacies of international relations and the necessity of conducting surveillance activities at strategic border points to safeguard national security interests.
