Unmanned aerial vehicle seized at Gandhi Maidan

Patna: A drone was seized by Patna police from the Gandhi Maidan here on Sunday. It was being used allegedly by an event management company to record the rally held by the Sahani Samaj Kalyan Sanstha. Police detained two persons who were handling it on behalf of the private security agency.

Drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and private companies are not permitted to use it for commercial purposes and at public places. "Nobody can use drone for commercial purposes and at public places without taking licence from the Union home ministry. It is violation of air space," said Patna SSP Jitender Rana.

"Drone is available in the market but it can`t be used commercially without the required licence," he added. Sources said police detained two persons -- Raj Kumar and Santosh Kumar -- of the private security agency. They had hired the drone from Mumbai to record the rally.
