A promotional display by a mobile operator turned chaotic at Mumbai's Churchgate railway station when two aerial drones lost control and crashed onto the platform. The incident occurred during a scheduled show that attracted a crowd of commuters and onlookers.
One passenger sustained injuries after being struck by debris from the falling devices and was immediately attended to by station medical staff. The injured commuter was later taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.
Police and railway officials cordoned off the area, launched an investigation into the cause of the malfunction, and collected the drone remnants for forensic analysis. The station resumed normal operations after the platform was cleared.
Authorities have reminded event organizers that safety protocols for drone demonstrations must comply with civil aviation guidelines, especially in densely populated public spaces.
