A recent crackdown on espionage modules in India has revealed a significant shift in surveillance tactics, utilizing solar-powered CCTV cameras to monitor military installations. The Ghaziabad Police, in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force, arrested over 30 individuals for their involvement in these operations. The first module was discovered in March, while another was dismantled this month by the Delhi Police Special Cell. These modules allegedly sent live feeds to handlers associated with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Investigations revealed that the primary aim of these installations was to track military movements and vehicle placements. Recruits, often vulnerable youth facing financial difficulties, were lured through social media with promises of financial support. They were instructed to purchase CCTV cameras locally and set up internet connections using fake identities. Following these revelations, the central government has directed authorities to conduct thorough audits of CCTV systems around critical installations to enhance security.
