New Delhi: India is on high alert after a series of alarming developments across multiple states and the Indo–Nepal border. Investigations have revealed plots to derail trains, rackets of forced religious conversion, infiltration attempts through the “Donkey Route,” and concerns over radicalization near border regions.
Five Train Derailment Plots Uncovered
Authorities reported conspiracies to derail passenger trains in Kanpur, Bathinda, Burhanpur, Mirzapur, and Rampur. While details remain under investigation, initial findings suggest coordinated attempts to create large-scale disruption. Railway authorities have ordered heightened security and close monitoring of vulnerable routes.
Conversion Racket in Mathura
In Mathura, families alleged that people were targeted with promises of quality education, school admissions, and lucrative overseas jobs, only to be pressured into religious conversion. Police have begun probing the network behind the operation, calling it a serious threat to social trust.
Infiltration via Nepal Border
Intelligence sources warned of growing infiltration attempts along the Indo–Nepal border, particularly through the so-called “Donkey Route”, where illegal crossings are made using informal tracks. Officials fear this could be exploited by non-state actors to push smuggling and extremist elements into India.
Radicalization Concerns
Security agencies have also flagged disturbing reports of around 2,500 individuals undergoing indoctrination in certain madrasas along the Nepal border. Officials believe this could pose a long-term challenge to internal security and regional stability if left unchecked.
Fake Aadhaar Identity Raises Alarm
Adding to the concerns, a case has emerged of a converted Hindu obtaining five Aadhaar cards under different Hindu names. The incident highlights gaps in the identification system and the potential risks of its misuse.
A Call for Stronger Laws
Experts warn that India’s education, policing, judiciary, and administrative systems continue to carry colonial legacies that limit their effectiveness. Many have called for stricter laws on population control, religious conversion, and border infiltration to counter the growing threats.
