An investigation into the largest drug haul in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which involved 6,000 kg of methamphetamine, revealed that Myanmarese smugglers were using Starlink satellite internet services to navigate across the middle of the sea, a senior police officer said on Thursday. According to an investigation into the biggest drug seizure in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, which included 6,000 kg of methamphetamine, Myanmarese smugglers were navigating across the ocean using Starlink satellite internet services. DGP Hargobinder Singh Dhaliwal of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands told PTI exclusively that on November 23, the Indian Coast Guard caught six Myanmarese smugglers in a fishing vessel carrying 6,000 kg of methamphetamine, valued at ₹36,000 crore. "This is the first time we've seen smugglers in India using Starlink for high-speed internet connectivity to navigate through remote areas and rough seas," he continued.
