The Challenge
During a politically charged period in early 2026, a major political party in South Kolkata suspected its strategy meetings were being monitored because opponents were predicting internal decisions with remarkable accuracy.
The Problem
Many high-profile offices in Kolkata operate from heritage buildings with thick walls, high ceilings, and aging electrical systems, providing ideal concealment for hidden surveillance devices.
- Audio recorder detection in historic furniture and large filing systems.
- Audio transmitter detection using GSM and long-range methods.
- Threats for government offices and sensitive policy environments.
The Action
Under strict intelligence-grade protocols, Indiebim deployed an elite technical team led by Wahid Shaikh.
- Full-range RF spectrum analysis from 10 kHz to 24 GHz using OSCOR Blue.
- Carrier current analysis across electrical wiring for PLC bugs.
- Advanced physical searches of ornate ceilings and internal shafts with video pole cameras.
The Findings
In the main strategy room, the team discovered a high-end UHF audio transmitter embedded inside a vintage wall clock.
The device drew power from the clock’s battery circuit and transmitted only when human speech levels were detected.
The Solution
- Installed a high-capacity audio jammer to create an ultrasonic sound wall in the war room.
- Redesigned visitor access procedures to ensure escort-based movement for maintenance personnel.
- Implemented a quarterly TSCM schedule before every major core-committee meeting.
Outcome
The headquarters regained strategic integrity and resumed planning with confidence after the physical espionage threat was neutralized.
Technical Appendix
- REI TALAN 3.0 for telephone and digital line analysis.
- MESA for fast, high-resolution scanning of large headquarters.
- NLJD for electronics hidden inside dense wooden furniture.
