After almost three weeks since the unauthorised photoshoot at Mysuru Palace, the lensman, who is partly at fault for violating the rules, has been nabbed.

The photographer identified as Venkatesh, who did the pre-wedding photoshoot of the couple Adithya and Navyatha at Amba Vilas, was traced by Mysuru police on Tuesday, reported The Times of India.

DCP (law and order) HT Shekar, the inquiry officer, confirmed that they have taken Venkatesh's statement. However, the police still have to get the version of the couple, who are still at large.

Adithya, son of former bureaucrat BG Nandakumar, and Navyatha, daughter of an IPS officer from Andhra Pradesh, had carried out a photoshoot earlier this year at Mysuru Palace without taking the required permission.

It became controversial when the photographs and video went viral on social media. The photos and video have now been deleted.
