In Kolkata, a 32-year-old man, Santanu Banerjee, was apprehended on Friday night for allegedly recording segments of the Ajay Devgn film 'Drishyam 3' with his mobile phone. The incident occurred within a multiplex located off EM Bypass. Other patrons alerted theatre management upon observing Banerjee's covert filming. A police team from Phoolbagan Police Station subsequently arrested him.
During initial questioning, Banerjee admitted to recording the movie, stating his motive was to share it with friends and family who are fans of Ajay Devgn and the 'Drishyam' franchise. Police are investigating his claims and his background. They are also examining any potential intent to distribute the unauthorized recording.
Banerjee appeared before a Sealdah court on Saturday and was placed in police custody until October 8.
