Six individuals have been detained by authorities following allegations of theft of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) cables.
Six people were taken into custody by law enforcement officials after police uncovered evidence linking them to the theft of BSNL cables. The arrests were made following a coordinated operation that traced the stolen cables to a network of illicit distributors. The detained suspects are currently being held at a local police station pending further investigation.
BSNL, the state‑owned telecommunications company, has faced a series of theft incidents in recent months. The theft of its cables not only disrupts service but also poses a security risk. Authorities have urged the public to report any suspicious activity related to telecom infrastructure.
The police are continuing to investigate the extent of the theft and whether the stolen cables were sold or used for unauthorized connections. No charges have yet been formally filed, but the suspects are expected to appear in court soon.
