The police said over 80 Russian devotees visited Dhanushkodi on the eastern tip of Rameswaram island and the Ramanathaswamy temple today and had taken videos using an UAV. 

The devotees, followers of a spiritual organisation, were told by the police that (in view of the sensitivity of the locations) taking video footage by using UAV was not allowed. The police then deleted the video footage and returned the UAV. The videos found copied to a laptop were also deleted, they said.
