ANI reported that Amruta was seen sitting across Angriya’s safety range on Saturday, in a 30-second video of the incident, during the ship’s journey from Mumbai to Goa for the first time.

She is seen sitting in the place which looks like the extreme edge of the ship as a security personnel stands a few feet behind her, ANI said. A police officer is seen walking to the spot after jumping through some railings and speaking to the security personnel.

The security personnel is then seen conveying the official’s message to Amruta. He gestured to her in what seemed like a caution against crossing the safety range of the cruise ship. She is seen taking out her phone and clicking a selfie while sitting at the same spot.
