Two devotees were detained for questioning on Friday (December 5) for flying a drone camera near ‘Silathoranam’.
According to TTD, the duo, believed to be ISKCON devotees, have been identified as Sulakshan Das and Arjun Das. Constables and forest personnel who found them flying the drone camera took them into custody and handed them over to the police after preliminary investigation.
Drone photography and filming is strictly prohibited at the top of the temple town for safety reasons. However, the incident has raised questions as to how the duo could enter the city and evade the heavily guarded TTD toll plaza at Alipiri in Tirupati.
