Elon Musk's Starlink is in trouble with Indian authorities before it could launch?

Indian authorities will soon seek information from Starlink as part of their investigation into drug smugglers who allegedly used its satellite internet service to navigate the high seas and smuggle $4.25 billion worth of methamphetamine into Indian waters. Hargobinder S. Dhaliwal, a senior police official, said, "This (case) is different because it is bypassing all the legal channels. They directly operated (phones) with satellite, creating a Wi-Fi hotspot."
