From their possession, approximately nine CCTV cameras, which had been installed at various locations, have been recovered.
These were solar-powered CCTV cameras, and their video feeds were being transmitted directly to Pakistan via SIM cards. In addition to these, four pistols were recovered; these weapons had been brought in through cross-border trafficking and arms smuggling channels.

The cameras were deployed in these regions, and the individuals who have been apprehended are primarily youths from Punjab, though the group also includes some individuals from Delhi… They had conducted reconnaissance on several security installations and police facilities with the intention of hurling grenades at them.
