A man from Punjab is arrested for allegedly spying on Indian Army and paramilitary movements by installing an internet-connected CCTV camera and transmitting live footage to Pakistan-based handlers. According to reports, the accused is from Pathankot and places the camera near a bridge along NH-44, where he is said to monitor military activity in the area. The Times of India reports the system streams a live feed to handlers and that the accused allegedly received instructions from Dubai and was paid about Rs 40,000 for the activity. Mint similarly describes the arrest as an espionage case involving the installation of a CCTV camera to spy on military movements and transmit information. Mint also states that two accomplices are already imprisoned in connection with the matter. The accounts agree on the core allegations: the camera is used for surveillance of Army/paramilitary movements, the footage is sent to external handlers associated with Pakistan, and law enforcement has arrested the man after the alleged activity came to light. The reports do not provide further verified details on the camera’s precise location beyond the highway/bridge area or on the outcome of any court proceedings at the time of publication.
