Overview

  • The court authorized a formal request to Chinese judicial authorities to identify the purchaser, end user and technical records of a GoPro Hero 12 Black linked to the case.
  • The device, bearing serial number C3501325471706, is described by investigators as crucial for establishing pre-attack reconnaissance and evidentiary linkage.
  • GoPro B.V. informed the NIA the camera was supplied to AE Group International Limited in China and first activated on January 30, 2024, in Dongguan.
  • The manufacturer said it holds no downstream transaction or end‑user data, prompting the need for Chinese judicial assistance.
  • Procedural directions include uploading a translated request to the MLAT portal and sending physical sets via the CBI’s IPCU and the MEA, with MHA concurrence already granted.
