Drones, not aerial ones, but Super Custom-type road delivery vans, have become a darling of security service-men kidnapping young men across the country nowadays.

He has been arrested several times, transported in drone vans and brutalized in various detention facilities. Below is one of many testimonies of his torment in and outside of a drone.
