On Sunday, two US citizens were detained at Srinagar International Airport in Jammu and Kashmir, India, after a GPS device, suspected to be a satellite communicator, was discovered in their luggage. One of the individuals is a US national from Montana, while the other is originally from Kolkata but now resides in the United States. They were traveling from Srinagar to Delhi. According to M Adil, the officer in charge of the Humhama police post, the duo was detained for questioning but not arrested. A preliminary investigation indicated that the device may not be a satellite phone but rather a GPS tool intended for navigation in areas without mobile network coverage. Police stated that no suspicious activity was found, and the individuals are expected to be released soon. Under the Indian Telegraph Act, unauthorized possession of satellite communication devices can lead to detention and legal action, requiring travelers to obtain prior permission from the telecommunications department.
