India Busts Pakistan ISI-Backed Espionage Module Using Solar-Powered CCTV Surveillance Near Military Installations

Delhi Police Special Cell dismantled an inter-state espionage module allegedly directed by Pakistan's ISI, arresting 11 operatives. The network operated solar-powered CCTV cameras near sensitive Indian military installations to monitor troop movements and defense infrastructure. The operation uncovered a surveillance apparatus combining physical and technical intelligence collection methods, one of the largest ISI-linked espionage busts in recent years.

Analysis
The solar-powered CCTV network represents a technical intelligence collection method that blends physical surveillance with remote digital exfiltration. The placement near military installations suggests ISI was building a persistent surveillance capability rather than conducting one-off human intelligence operations.
