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.

Trump says EU has until July 4 to approve last year's trade deal or it will face higher tariffs
Washington (AP): President Donald Trump has said in a social media post that goods from the European Union would face higher tariff rates if the 27-member bloc fails to approve last year's trade framework by July 4.
The announcement on Thursday appeared to be a deadline extension after the president said last Friday that EU autos would face a higher 25 per cent tariff starting this week. Trump made the updated announcement after what he described as a "great call" with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Still, the US president was displeased that the European Parliament had yet to finalize the trade arrangement reached last year, which was further complicated in February by the US Supreme Court ruling that Trump lacked the legal authority to declare an economic emergency to impose the initial tariffs used to pressure the EU into talks.
"A promise was made that the EU would deliver their side of the Deal and, as per Agreement, cut their Tariffs to ZERO!" Trump posted. "I agreed to give her until our Country's 250th Birthday or, unfortunately, their Tariffs would immediately jump to much higher levels."
It was unclear from the post whether Trump was implying that the tariff rates would jump on all EU goods or the increase would only apply to autos.
His latest statement indicates he might be backing away from his earlier threat on EU autos by giving the European Parliament several more weeks to approve the agreement.
Under the original terms of the framework, the US would charge a 15 per cent tax on most goods imported from the EU.
But since the Supreme Court ruling, the administration has levied a 10 per cent tariff while investigating trade imbalances and national security issues, aiming to put in new tariffs to make up for lost revenues.
