Bahraich: Two doctors , one of Indian origin and the other of Pakistani origin, were detained earlier this week at the Rupaidiha border in UP's Bahraich for illegally entering Indian territory without valid documents. Both doctors, British nationals, reportedly crossed from Nepal out of curiosity to explore a local market.

According to the news reports, the doctors, both audiologists specializing in treating the hearing impaired, had visited Nepalganj, Nepal, after being invited to participate in an Otology (ear-related) medical camp organised by a private hospital. While the Indian-origin doctor holds an Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, officials clarified that the Rupaidiha-Nepalganj border crossing permits only Indian and Nepalese citizens, not third-country nationals.
