A man from Punjab has been arrested by security agencies for allegedly installing a CCTV camera along a highway to monitor and share sensitive army movement information with handlers based in Pakistan. According to officials, the accused had reportedly positioned the surveillance device at a strategic location frequently used by military vehicles and convoys.
Investigators suspect that the live footage and movement details were being passed on through encrypted communication channels. Authorities launched an operation after receiving intelligence inputs regarding suspicious monitoring activities near the highway. During the investigation, electronic devices, mobile phones, and surveillance equipment were reportedly seized from the accused.
Security agencies are currently probing whether the individual acted alone or was part of a larger espionage network operating across border states. Officials stated that the incident raises serious concerns over the misuse of surveillance technology for anti-national activities.
The accused has been booked under relevant sections related to national security and espionage, and further investigation is underway.
