Munawar Faruqui won Bigg Boss 17
Comedian-musician Munawar Faruqui, the winner of the reality television show 'Bigg Boss 17', caused a stir in Mumbai's Dongri area as he arrived at his residence with the 'Bigg Boss 17' trophy. However, the celebration has hit a bump as an FIR has been filed against Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui's fan for illegally using a drone camera to capture the grand celebrations.
According to reports in the Free Press Journal, an FIR has been filed against a fan identified as Arbaaz Yusuf Khan (26) for illegally using a drone camera. Reportedly, Constable Nitin Shinde, who was on patrol with PSI Tausif Mulla, noticed Yusuf. Upon approaching him, they discovered that the boy did not have permission to operate the drone during the celebration in Mumbai's Dongri. They subsequently informed the police station about it and reportedly confiscated the drone camera.
A case has also been filed against Yusuf for violating the Mumbai Police Commissioner's orders, which require obtaining prior permission to use drones. Previously, a ban was issued on all flying objects, including drone cameras, to ensure the safety of citizens. Exceptions were granted for aerial surveillance purposes by the police or under specific written permission from the deputy commissioner of police.
