The unmanned aerial device has multiple uses, but now when I think of it, I remember it as the flying machine that has become the life-saver for many during the lockdown. You might remember the quarantined pet owner who used a drone to walk his dog.
Soon after that, several people came up with creative ideas to make use of the mobile device. From giving a neighbouring girl their phone number to delivering whisky and toilet paper, people have done it all.
And now, a man from Gujarat’s Morbi was allegedly delivered his dose of pan-masala with the help of the drone, reported India Today.
In a video that was first shared on TikTok, packets of pan masala can be seen hanging from the drone that were delivered to a man waiting for them on his terrace.

However, the viral video caught the attention of the local police who after investigation, detained two people under ‘Epidemic Act,’ said a report by Times of India.
The country was put under lockdown to restrict the movement of people to contain the spread of coronavirus. However, that isn’t stopping people from coming up with weird ideas to satiate their cravings. Even I miss hogging on the delicious food from the road-side eateries. That’s probably the first thing I am going to enjoy when the lockdown is lifted. What are you going to do? Tell us.
