The police confirmed that the boy was not detained and the statement was recorded within half an hour.

"I came here on June 12. The plane was passing from very close, so I thought of shooting a video so I could show it to my friends.

I showed the video to my sister. I also told my father about it," Asari was quoted as saying by ANI.
