Karnal Police drone uncovers gambling den arresting 13 persons


Whether you call them Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Drones or Flying Mini Robots, drones are rapidly growing in popularity. They are mostly used to capture still images or videos from the sky. UAVs are often used as surveillance to gather information about specific individuals, groups or locations. Drones are efficiently used for gathering information because of the small size and flight capabilities, which enables it to capture information from a distance at high altitudes. Drone’s camera provides a First Person View (FPV) which allows authorities to have a greater reach in terms of surveillance. The authorities in India are getting more modern and sophisticated by using drones for law enforcements purposes and surveillance. 

Recently, authorities in India unveiled an illegal gambling racket while they captured the accused using a drone as they were not adhering to the lockdown regulations in relation to the coronavirus outbreak. 13 individuals were apprehended as they defied the lockdown rules and were involved in gambling in the city of Karnal, Haryana.

The accused were caught off guard as the local police gathered information to apprehend the suspects. They were later detained and taken into custody by Karnal Local police and awaiting prosecution.
