American citizen Jordan Brown, 36, from California, is under investigation after being detained by the Sashastra Seema Bal while allegedly attempting to cross the India-Nepal border without valid travel documents. Brown claimed he lost his passport in Thailand, travelled to Sri Lanka by sea, entered India via the sea route in November 2025, and had since been living in Goa. Authorities said no evidence of suspicious or anti-national links has emerged so far, but multiple intelligence agencies are verifying his identity, travel history and claims. Police registered a case under the Immigration and Foreigners Act after recovering cash, mobile phones and several other items from his possession during the arrest.
