  2. Confirmation from Elon Musk about Starlink’s inactivity in India.
  3. Security and regulatory implications of using satellite internet in India.

In a joint search operation conducted by the Indian Army and Assam Rifles in Manipur, authorities successfully seized a number of Starlink satellite internet devices from underground bunkers. This action was prompted by specific intelligence inputs, with security forces uncovering arms and the unauthorized use of advanced technology in the region.

Elon Musk’s Confirmation and the Satellite Internet Debate

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, which operates Starlink, confirmed that Starlink signals are inactive over India, effectively making any use of Starlink technology within the country unauthorized. The incident has brought attention to the potential security risks posed by satellite-based internet services, which can circumvent traditional telecommunication controls.

Implications for Security and Regulatory Oversight

This seizure of advanced satellite internet technology has sparked a debate on the regulatory framework for technology in India, raising critical questions about the oversight of global tech companies and the security risks associated with unauthorized technology use in sensitive regions. As the country grapples with such incidents, the importance of ensuring strict regulatory compliance for global satellite services remains under scrutiny.
