Elon Musk says Starlink satellite beams are ’turned off over India’; here’s what happened

Live Mint  

SpaceX founder Elon Musk has said that said Starlink satellite beams were turned off over India. On December 16, the security forces posted on X, “Acting on specific intelligence, troops of #IndianArmy and #AssamRifles formations under #SpearCorps carried out joint search operations in the hill and valley regions in the districts of Churachandpur, Chandel, Imphal East and Kagpokpi in #Manipur, in close coordination with @manipur_police and other security forces and recovered 29 weapons comprising of snipers, automatic weapons, rifles, pistols, country made mortars, single barrel rifles, grenades, ammunition and war like stores.” Commenting on the post, one user said, “@Starlink is being used by terrorists. Starlink satellite beams are turned off over India.” According to Reuters, two military officers who were familiar with search requested anonymity and revealed that a device bearing the Starlink logo was being utilised by a militant group during the search operation. Earlier on December 3, Reuters had also reported that Indian police would seek details from Elon Musk's Starlink in a bid to hunt down drug smugglers who used its satellite internet device to navigate deep seas and bring meth worth $4.25 billion into Indian waters for the first time.
