Bengaluru: An FIR has been registered by the Vidhana Soudha Police Station for trespassing and negligence against two event management youth who attempted to fly a drone near the East Gate of Vidhana Soudha around 6:45 am on Saturday (July 30).
The arrested youth are identified as Arun and Vinod. At present, both have been sent on station bail.
The Police investigation revealed that they tried to fly the drone without knowing that it was prohibited to fly it. They had come to shoot a video of a private company’s 15-year celebration.
A nano drone weighing less than or equal to 250 grams (no license required) can be flown more than 50 feet above the ground. Similarly, before flying nano drones in airports or other sensitive areas, one needs to get permission from the concerned authorities, says an official.
Micro drones weighing more than 250 grams but weighing less than or equal to 2 kilograms can only be used for non-commercial purposes without the need for a license.
