Mumbai police have filed charges against three individuals for allegedly setting a sky lantern on fire using an inflammable substance and releasing it into the air, causing a disturbance in a public place. The incident occurred on November 5 around 1:20 am, when Police Constable Bharat Bapu Patil and Constable Jaydeep Patil were patrolling the area in plain clothes.
They observed two men flying a burning sky lantern on Sahyadri Gym Road, while a third person was recording the event on his mobile phone. The person flying the lantern fled when confronted by the police, but the other two were apprehended, including a 21-year-old mobile repair technician and a 22-year-old furniture shop owner. The burning sky lantern drifted into the air and landed on a residential roof, where it continued to burn before extinguishing itself.
The three men have been booked under several sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the relevant law for their alleged involvement in the dangerous act. Further investigation is ongoing.
