Indian police are seeking details from Elon Musk's Starlink after finding its device on a seized Myanmar boat carrying $4.25 billion worth of methamphetamine. The Indian Coast Guard intercepted the boat near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, arresting six Myanmar nationals. Police say the smugglers used Starlink's satellite internet to navigate and create Wi-Fi hotspots, bypassing legal networks. Starlink, which promises fast broadband globally, does not yet have permission to operate in India. Authorities have asked for information on the device's buyer and usage history. Investigations are ongoing to uncover any links to local or international drug syndicates.
