Baljit Singh, a resident of Chakk Dhariwal village in Pathankot, Punjab, has been arrested for allegedly spying for Pakistan by installing a CCTV camera to monitor troop movements along the National Highway-44. According to Punjab police, Singh confessed to setting up the internet-based camera in January 2023 and was transmitting live footage to handlers in Pakistan. He reportedly received ₹40,000 for his actions and was also receiving instructions from an unknown individual in Dubai. The police recovered the CCTV camera from his possession during the investigation. This incident is part of a larger trend, as Punjab police recently dismantled two other espionage modules that utilized advanced, solar-powered CCTV technology to send sensitive military information to Pakistan. These modules were strategically placed to monitor military sites and employed high-tech equipment that operates on 4G connectivity, allowing them to bypass traditional wiring. Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav highlighted the increasing use of such technology for espionage activities in the region.
