JAMMU\/NEW DELHI, Apr 10: An espionage network with direct links to Pakistan has been unearthed, revealing how handlers across the border were remotely monitoring real-time movement of Indian Army personnel through a covert grid of solar-powered CCTV cameras installed at strategically sensitive locations across northern India, an official said on Friday.The surveillance network spanned key cities including Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Pathankot, Patiala and Moga in Punjab, Ambala in Haryana, Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir, and Bikaner and Alwar in Rajasthan \u2014 all of which are crucial due to the presence of Army cantonments, proximity to the international border and their role as major troop movement and logistics corridors.
\nAccording to police, the cameras were deliberately positioned to capture activities near military installations, highways used for troop mobilisation and border-linked infrastructure.
\nSources said a Delhi Police team visited Kathua for investigation of the spots where the CCTV cameras had been installed.
\n\u201cOne of the key accused, Manpreet Singh from Punjab, was found to be in direct contact with Pakistan-based handlers and played a central role in coordinating communication and facilitating the movement of illegal arms. Others, including field operatives, were responsible for physically installing the cameras and maintaining the network on the ground,\u201d the officer said.
\nThe police said the bust has potentially averted a major security threat, as inputs suggest that the module was also exploring plans to target security establishments using explosives and other means. The integration of espionage with arms trafficking and terror planning points to a larger and well-coordinated conspiracy backed by external elements.
\nSecurity agencies are now analysing digital evidence, including mobile phones and data retrieved from the CCTV systems, to identify further links, handlers and sleeper cells.
\nWhat makes the operation particularly alarming is that these devices were transmitting live footage directly to Pakistan-based handlers, allowing them to \u201csit across the border and watch Indian Army movements unfold in real time\u201d.
\nThe module, busted by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police in a coordinated operation, led to the arrest of 11 accused involved in espionage, arms smuggling and reconnaissance activities.
\nThe accused have been identified as Manpreet Singh, a resident of Tarn Taran in Punjab; Anmol and Sahil of Firozpur in Punjab; Atul Rathee, Rohit and Ajay from Delhi; Gurjeet of Kapurthala; Rimpledeep of Fazilka; Salwinder alias Kalu and Boota Singh of Fazilka in Punjab; and Harpreet of Moga in Punjab.
\nInvestigators said the network was operating under instructions from Pakistan\u2019s intelligence agency, with operatives on the ground tasked with installing surveillance equipment and relaying sensitive visuals.
\nThe use of solar-powered CCTV cameras ensured uninterrupted surveillance even in remote or low-access areas, making detection difficult and allowing the network to function continuously without relying on conventional power sources.
\n\u201cThe cameras were fitted with SIM cards procured using fake identities and were linked to mobile applications, enabling seamless real-time transmission of footage across the border,\u201d Additional Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Pramod Singh Kushwah said in Delhi.
\nThe police said the accused had conducted detailed reconnaissance before installing the devices, carefully selecting vantage points that offered clear visibility of Army cantonments, border roads and movement routes of security forces. The footage was then analysed by handlers in Pakistan to map patterns, assess vulnerabilities and potentially plan further activities.
\n\u201cThe intention was not just passive surveillance but strategic monitoring of defence movement patterns over a period of time,\u201d the officer said, adding that such inputs could have been used for planning terror strikes or facilitating cross-border operations.
\n\u201cThe crackdown was carried out in two phases. In the first operation, six accused were arrested from Punjab and Delhi, with the recovery of nine CCTV cameras, four pistols, including three foreign-made weapons, and 24 live cartridges. The second phase, based on inputs from military intelligence, led to the arrest of five more operatives actively involved in reconnaissance and data sharing,\u201d the Additional CP said.<\/p>\n
