Individual Arrested For Sending Footage Of Military Troop Movements To Pakistan Via CCTV Cameras

Pathankot, Punjab | May 22 | AIMA Media Update : A new digital conspiracy orchestrated by a neighboring country to compromise India's border security has been exposed in Punjab. Police have recently arrested an individual who illegally installed CCTV cameras along national highways and was transmitting live footage of military troop movements directly to Pakistan. While three other individuals assisted him in this operation, the police are currently making vigorous efforts to apprehend them as well.

The Punjab Police have successfully dismantled a massive international espionage network operating from across the border, which was specifically targeting India's defense infrastructure. The Pathankot Police arrested an accused individual who was relaying highly sensitive information regarding the movements of the Indian Army and paramilitary forces to handlers based in Pakistan. Investigations revealed that the accused had specifically installed CCTV cameras along the Pathankot-Jammu National Highway (NH-44) and was electronically transmitting live footage of the movement of defense forces' vehicles to operators located in Pakistan as well as in other foreign countries.
