A private helicopter, hired along with two other choppers for the visit of BJP chief Nitin Gadkari and his family, crashed in Ladpur jungles in Dehradun on Sunday barely hours after the group had got down at the airport, leaving the pilot and an engineer seriously injured.
Dehradun SSP G S Martolia said the chopper of SAR Aviation was flying to Sahastradhara helipad here from Jolly Grant Airport when it crashed apparently due to a technical fault as the weather was clear. The other two choppers had reached the helipad safely.
Uttarakhand Government has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
The chopper was part of three helicopters hired by the Uttarakhand government to take Gadkari and his family to Chardham yatra, official sources said, adding that the group which had come in the three choppers from Badrinath had got down at Jolly Grant Airport at 1 pm and after an hour the choppers had left for Sahastradhara helipad
