AN Australian man has been arrested in India for being in possession of a banned type of satellite phone favoured by militants.
The man, identified as S Ramachandran, 35, will be held for 14 days while the case is investigated, the Times of India reported on Thursday.
Mr Ramachandran, who was born in Sri Lanka, was arrested on Tuesday near Tiruchirappalli in southeast India and brought before a magistrate.
He was in possession of a Thuraya phone, the use of which has been banned in India since 2010.
The phones are used by militants in Jammu and Kashmir and were used by terrorists in the Mumbai attacks in 2008.
The newspaper said Ramachandran had been living in the area for a few years and planned to start a farm there.
"His immediate family members are in Australia where the family owns a departmental store," it reported.
Mr Ramachandran allegedly told police he had been using the phone because he could not get a signal on his mobile phone.
