New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) Amid heightened security measures in the nation’s capital due to the ongoing G20 Summit, an incident involving the use of a drone occurred in the central Delhi’s Patel Nagar area, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident came to light late on Friday evening, with a senior police official revealing that the detector control room had identified the presence of a drone in the Patel Nagar area.
