Nawada, Bihar: A Bangladeshi illegal entrant, who had been evading police for the past eight months, has been arrested in Bihar for allegedly luring a minor girl through social media.

Police were able to rescue the girl on 15 October 2025 from a makeshift house near the border in Assam. After her safe return to her family and recording her statement in court, the search for Zah...
