A couple of days back, the Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 17 reached its grand finale with Munawar Faruqui being declared as the ultimate winner. Munawar beat his close competitor Abhishek Kumar by a narrow margin to lift the much-coveted trophy. And once he won the trophy, he brought it to his home in Dongri (Mumbai) amidst much fanfare that saw a huge crowd which had gathered to receive him.

The entire video of Munawar’s ‘homecoming’, which was captured by a drone, became viral in no time. The latest update is that the police officials have now filed a FIR (First Information Report) against the person who had used the said drone to shoot the video.

Amidst the huge crowd, Nitin Shinde spotted a person (named Arbaaz Yusuf Khan) who was using a drone camera to shoot the entire event. Seeing that, both, Shinde and PSI Mulla asked him whether he had all the required permissions to shoot with his drone camera. To which, Khan admitted that he did not have the mandatory authorization to use the drone camera. Post that, the police officials confiscated Khan's drone camera.
