Pathankot espionage case has put security agencies on alert. According to the police, the Internet CCTV camera installed on NH-44 was transmitting live movement of army convoys to Pakistan. After the arrest of Baljeet Singh, the Dubai connection, suspicious funding and investigation of a big spy network have made the case more mysterious.
Pathankot/Punjab: A shocking revelation has come to light in the joint operation of the country's security agencies and Punjab Police, which has created a stir in the security department. Police have arrested a person named Baljeet Singh from Pathankot, which is considered to be the most sensitive military zone of India. Baljeet is accused that instead of breaking into any military base, he started spying on the entire Indian Army using a very simple and low-cost digital weapon. This entire matter is pointing towards modern-day digital espionage and a sinister conspiracy of masters sitting across the border.
Was Pakistan connection hidden behind CCTV cameras?
The Pathankot-Jammu corridor (NH-44) is considered a lifeline for the Indian Army and paramilitary forces. Baljeet had hidden a high-tech CCTV camera connected to the internet in a shop built on the side of a bridge near Chakk Dhariwal village located on the same highway. The investigators were shocked when they came to know that this camera was not doing any normal recording, but its direct access was given through the internet to the handlers sitting across the border in Pakistan. The eyes of this intelligence camera were on the real-time (live) movement of every moment of the army convoys, tanks and armed soldiers marching towards Jammu and Kashmir.
That 'mysterious' call from Dubai and the deal of Rs 40,000
After the arrest, when the Punjab Police strictly interrogated him, the confession made by Baljeet Singh was extremely shocking. He told that he had setup this camera in the month of January this year. But the command of this entire conspiracy was being handled not from Pakistan but from Dubai. Baljeet was continuously receiving instructions from an unknown person sitting in Dubai. In exchange for a deal on national security, around Rs 40,000 was transferred from Dubai to Baljeet's bank account. Now intelligence agencies are investigating his call details records (CDR) and money trail so that the last link of this network can be reached.

Gadgets become new weapons: Dangerous trend of 'low-cost' espionage
Security experts believe that this case exposes a very dangerous and new method of gathering intelligence information. Enemies no longer need to cross borders or climb walls; They are using Wi-Fi cameras, mobile apps and internet devices easily available in the market as their weapons. Baljeet also took advantage of this technology, due to which even the enemy sitting in a far away country was able to see the movements happening inside the Indian border live on his mobile screen.
Biggest alert after Pathankot airbase attack: Is any big network active?
After the horrific terrorist attack on Pathankot Air Force Station in 2016, this entire area always remains on high-alert. Pathankot is very important from a strategic point of view due to its location at the mouth of Pakistan border and Jammu and Kashmir. The arrest has been confirmed by the official 'X' (formerly Twitter) handle of Punjab Police. Now the biggest suspense is whether Baljeet is just a pawn? The agencies are deeply investigating whether more such secret cameras have been installed on other highways in Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir, and whether any larger sleeper cell network is targeting Army routes in the border states.
