Accused claims to have flown it for travel blogs and YouTube channel
The Thoppumpady police arrested and released on bail a 26-year-old from Vaduthala on the charge of unauthorised flying of a drone atop the Old Thoppumpady Bridge on Monday. The drone was seized by the Naval authorities and handed over to the Thoppumpady police. The accused claimed to have flown the drone for his travel blogs and YouTube channel but had no prior approval from the Indian Navy, a prerequisite for any such operations in the vicinity of Naval installations. The accused claimed that he had bought the drone for around ₹1 lakh from an individual whom he acquainted through online market website OLX and hence could not produce bills.More Related News
