Bengaluru: FIR filed against YouTube channel for flying drone in no-fly zone near KIA
Bengaluru: The Bengaluru International Airport police have registered an FIR against a YouTube channel named 'Bangalore Wanderlust' for allegedly flying a drone in a restricted no-fly zone near Kempegowda International Airport, violating aviation safety rules.
According to Deccan Herald on Monday, a senior police officer said the case was registered based on a complaint filed by officials of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). The drone footage in question was uploaded on the YouTube channel on January 4, 2026.
The drone was allegedly flown in the Red Zone area where aerial operations are strictly prohibited as per Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) regulations and posed a potential threat to aviation safety.
The DGCA’s vigilance team reportedly noticed the aerial footage online and alerted CISF personnel, following which a complaint was lodged and legal action initiated.
"We are verifying details of the channel operator and also involvement of a third party or whether any other government agency had asked him to shoot the video by giving money. Action will be initiated against those responsible if found guilty," the officer said.
Further investigation is under way.
