Delhi Police Probe Viral Drone Footage of Protesters Near Parliament Street
Delhi Police are investigating viral drone footage showing protesters near Parliament Street during a demonstration demanding accountability over examination irregularities. The footage's authenticity and the legality of the drone operation are under verification, as flying drones in New Delhi's restricted airspace requires prior Central Government permission. Authorities noted that the protest lacked official approval, and security personnel used baton charges to disperse the crowd when the march towards Parliament was stopped.
