Bengaluru: The airport police have reportedly arrested and booked a 23-year-old YouTuber for allegedly breaching airport security under the pretext of traveling from Bengaluru to Chennai.

The arrested YouTuber has been identified as Bengaluru-based Vikas Gowda. Gowda, in a video uploaded on the video-sharing platform on April 12, mocked the security personnel of the airport.

Despite restrictions to enter a sensitive area like the airport, Gowda shot the video at the Terminal-2 of the airport on April 7. Stringent legal action will be taken against the accused, said DCP Lakshmi Prasad of North East Division.

Vikas Gowda, who has 1.3 lakh followers on his YouTube channel, has been performing several stunts to attract more views on his videos. Gowda has reportedly posted around 60 videos on his YouTube channel. DCP Lakshmi Prasad further stated that Vikas Gowda's phone has been seized.

Accused Vikas Gowda falsely claimed to be a genuine air traveler by booking a very cheap flight ticket from Bengaluru to Chennai. After completing the security check on April 7, he did not proceed to the boarding gate.

He had a hidden recording device with him, through which he started filming scenes in restricted areas by entering illegally. DCP Lakshmi Prasad has informed that the accused has been arrested, and further investigations are ongoing regarding the incident.
