    Police hunt for Chinese woman as Dalai Lama visits Bihar's Bodh Gaya

    Amid Dalai Lama's visit to Bihar's Bodh Gaya, the police sounded a security alert on Thursday morning at the Buddhist pilgrimage site and released a sketch of a wanted Chinese woman. According to the news agency PTI, the woman has been identified as Song Xiaolan and is reportedly plotting to cause harm to the Tibetan spiritual leader.

    Why does this story matter?

    • The 14th Dalai Lama, also known as Tenzin Gyatso, is the highest Tibetan leader.
    • Since 1959, he has been voicing for Tibet's autonomy and living in exile since the Tibetan rebellion against China started.
    • Last week, he arrived in Bodh Gaya as he restarted his yearly tour of the Buddhist town after a gap of two years amid the pandemic.

    Can't rule out her being a Chinese spy: Gaya SSP

    As a precautionary measure, security was ramped up across the Mahabodhi Temple Complex, where Dalai Lama addressed a gathering on Thursday morning. Gaya Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Harpreet Kaur said, "Police were getting inputs on the woman living for the past 24 months. There is no information at present about her location. We cannot rule out suspicion of her being a Chinese spy."
