Students fly drones, trigger panic

Greater Noida: The residents of Casa Grande Housing Society in Greater Noida’s Kasna area sought police help after they claimed that remotely controlled drones were seen flying in front of their balconies on multiple occasions.
 The residents claimed to have spotted a drone flying around the society around midnight on Sunday. Later, they sought police help on Twitter.The police said two engineering students from Noida International University, who are residents of the same society, were flying the drones.
According to the residents, they spotted a camera hovering on their balconies and thought it was a drill conducted by the police. “I spotted a drone at around 12 am on Sunday in front of my balcony. When I went to the balcony, the camera moved away. After taking a round of the towers, it moved towards the Yamuna Expressway which is hardly at 300 meter distance from our society. At first, I thought maybe the police is trying to locate some accused, therefore I discussed about it in our residents’ chat group. Everybody seemed to be aware of the drone and claimed that it had been spotted around since last two days,” said Vimlesh, a resident of the society.
According to police, after complaint a team was sent to nab the accused but they were found absent in their rented flat (1104) in the society. “On contacting the two students, it was found that they had left for their homes in Lucknow on Sunday morning itself. They have confessed that they were flying drones on the previous night claiming it was part of their project. They have been warned for not repeating it in future. No other action was taken against them,” said Ajay Kumar, the station house officer of Kasna police station.
