The Andaman and Nicobar police are set to question Starlink, the satellite internet provider, about the use of its devices by drug smugglers in a recent operation. According to police reports, smugglers utilized Starlink’s technology for navigation and secure communication, exploiting its global coverage and high-speed connectivity.
This case has raised concerns over the misuse of advanced satellite technology for illegal activities. Authorities aim to gather more information on how these devices were acquired and whether there were lapses in their usage policies. The incident underscores the need for tighter controls on the availability of such technologies to prevent criminal exploitation.
