India presses Starlink for details in $5.6b drug case

The Straits Times

|

December 10, 2024

The Indian police have sent a legal demand to Mr. Elon Musk's Starlink company seeking details of the person who purchased its internet device that can help in sea navigation after smugglers with more than US$4.2 billion (S$5.6 billion) worth of meth were caught in the biggest such Indian seizure.

Two people with direct knowledge of the police notice sent by Andaman and Nicobar island officials said Starlink had been asked for the purchaser's name and payment method, registration details and where the internet device was used when smugglers travelled in international waters from Myanmar to India.

Starlink and the Andaman police did not respond to Reuters' request for comment.
