Know how the accident happened
The Indian Coast Guard monitors India’s maritime border. According to the Indian Coast Guard, the Dhruv helicopter was on a regular flight when it crashed on Sunday. There were two pilots and three other people on board. At around 12.30 pm, the helicopter suddenly crashed and caught fire. Three people died in this accident, while two were seriously injured.
Technical deficiency became the reason for the incident!
It is feared that this accident happened due to some technical defect. Let us tell you that the Dhruv helicopter is also used by the Army, Air Force and Navy. Two years ago in 2023, many flaws were found in this helicopter, after which its inclusion in the fleet of the Army and Air Force was banned. The three forces have a total of 325 helicopters.
Four months ago in September, three crew members went missing after the ALH MK-III helicopter fell into the sea in the Arabian Sea near Porbandar. While the bodies of two crew members were later recovered, the search was on to locate the mission commander pilot Rakesh Kumar Rana.
