The police suspect it to be a conspiracy to create a stampede-like situation in the Ram temple area where, let alone drone flying, even airplanes do not have the permission to fly.

Katra Outpost Incharge Sunil Kumar has lodged an FIR in this case at the Ram Janmabhoomi police station.

According to the FIR, the illegal drona was detected at 7 pm on Monday near duty point Duty in the Ram temple complex. It was feared that the drone had been dropped in the temple premises in view of the huge crowd of devotees so that there could be a stampede and loss of life. Due to the Mahakumbh, a large number of devotees are reaching Ayodhya at this time.

Circle Officer( CO) Ayodhya Ashutosh Tiwari said here on Tuesday that in this case, the drone may be associated with some wedding ceremony in the vicinity. The anti-drone system of the Ram temple draws any flying drone in a two-and-a-half km radius.

He said the police were exploring all the aspects of the incident .
