Security alarm near Rashtrapati Bhavan

October 17, 2015 22:35

In a major security alarm, an unidentified person was spotted flying a suspected helicam near the high-security Vijay Chowk intersection close to Rashtrapati Bhavan and Parliament today.

Helicams are remote-controlled mini aerial devices, fitted with still or motion film cameras, that are used to shoot aerial pictures or videos. Police said that the incident was reported in the evening after a media person spotted a foreigner standing on the pavement near Vijay Chowk with a remote control in his hands.

The foreigner was operating a flying object -- suspected to be a helicam -- which was seen hovering around 20-30 feet above the ground, said a police official.
