2 Detained For Taking Video Of Military Area In Jabalpur

BHOPAL: Two men were detained for taking photographs and video of a military area in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, police said on Saturday.

Mohammad Zuber (32) and Mohammad Irfan (22) were on Friday detained for taking photographs and video of the military area in the cantonment, investigating officer Udaybhan Bagri said on Saturday.

Sources said a security guard spotted the duo taking photographs and video of the military area and questioned them about their motive.

He handed the two men to the military officers concerned for further investigation, sources said.

Sources said mobile phones of both the men were seized and examined.

Mr. Bagri however said prima facie it has been found that the two men were taking pictures of the military area in a normal way and there appeared to be no ulterior motive behind it.

The two men were detained as a precautionary measure and interrogated, he said and added that no case has been registered against them so far.

Meanwhile, flight services on Saturday resumed in the Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia airport in Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh.

The flight service in the airport was suspended on May seven in the wake of the launch of Operation Sindoor following the April 22 Pahalgam carnage in Jammu and Kashmir in which 26 tourists were massacred by the terrorists.

There is an airbase of Indian Air Force (IAF) in Gwalior.
