Jaipur:
The dramatic exit of the star couple, Russell Brand and Katy Perry, from Ranthambhore on Monday whipped up controversy as the duo left on a helicopter booked for airlifting a patient.
A complaint was filed against six persons, including the newlywed couple at chief judicial magistrate, Sawai Madhopur for violating the Wildlife Protection Act by Akshay Sharma, president of Ranthambhore Bagh Bachao Aandolan.
British actor Russell Brand and pop singer Katy Perry, who had tied knot on Saturday, boarded a helicopter near Ranthambhore National Park and arrived in Jaipur, where they took a chartered flight to the Maldives.
According to sources, the hotel authorities [in which the stars were staying] on Monday afternoon sought permission from the district administration for landing helicopter stating that a patient from Ranthambhore needed to be shifted to Jaipur.
However, almost in a theatrical way, the Brand-Perry couple boarded the helicopter and left Ranthambhore.
Talking to DNA, Sawai Madhopur collector Ravi Kumar emphasised, "I gave permission for special landing of the helicopter to the hotel administration as they need to shift a patient to Jaipur. I am not concerned about who was travelling with the patient."
Meanwhile, Sharma filed a complaint against the star couple stating that the national park witnessed sound pollution during the marriage ceremony. The fire crackers that were burst and the loud music flouted the Supreme Court's direction on limiting noise pollution in the area.
A committee, formed by the district administration to monitor the sound produced during the marriage celebration also submitted its report to the district collector.
Tehsildar Prahlad Gupta, assistant sub-inspector Arjun Singh, official of pollution control board and a ranger of the Ranthambhore were members of the committee. Gupta said that the committee has taken a reading of sound at the boundary of the hotel [marriage venue] and submitted its report to the district collector.
