Indonesian Woman Arrested at Sonauli Border for Using Fake Indian IDsPreviousNext

An Indonesian woman named Rohana was arrested at the Sonauli border in Uttar Pradesh for using forged Indian identity documents, including voter ID, Aadhaar, and PAN cards under the name Li Kim Lian. She was detained on November 10 after officials grew suspicious due to her inability to speak Hindi fluently and conflicting identity details. Rohana held a valid Indonesian passport and an expired Indian employment visa. Authorities are investigating her activities and connections, including her role in a Kolkata-based NGO assisting Buddhist monks traveling to China.
