265 Ratna Sisodiya, Rachana Choudhary e Surendra Singh Bhati Cases of Negative Consequences Due to Lack of Technology Despite the advantages of hyper-surveillance, there are notable instances where the lack of advanced surveillance technology has had negative consequences in South Asian countries. This section examines specific cases in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal, highlighting the critical impacts of insufficient surveillance infrastructure and technology. India • Mumbai Terror Attacks (2008) The 2008 Mumbai terror attacks were a stark reminder of the deficiencies in India’s surveillance infrastructure. The lack of real-time surveillance capabilities and inadequate coordination among security agencies significantly contributed to the scale and duration of the attacks, which resulted in over 170 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The terrorists were able to move freely and execute their plan over several days due to gaps in monitoring and response systems. • Cybercrime and Digital Fraud India faces a rising tide of cybercrime and digital fraud, which is exacerbated by insufficient surveillance and monitoring capabilities. The lack of advanced technology to track and counter cyber threats has led to significant financial losses and breaches of personal data. The rapid growth of internet usage and digital transactions has outpaced the development of corresponding security measures, leaving individuals and organizations vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
