A microlight Indian Air Force aircraft nosedived into a sugarcane field in Baghpat village on Friday morning. Both pilots are stated to be safe though villagers claim that one of them suffered injuries and was immediately rescued by another helicopter that landed here a while ago and later taken away. Air Force authorities, however, deny any casualty. According to PRO, Indian Air Force, Wing Commander Anupam Banerjee, “It was a microlight aircraft and the accident doesn’t fall into the category of crash but had to be parachuted down owing to some technical fault which is being investigated. There are no injuries and both pilots are safe. Nevertheless, this is the first time such an accident has happened and the reasons are being looked into.” - Time of India This footage is part of the bro
