| A Delhi businessman was killed after being hit by his two-seater aircraft near the outskirts of Meerut at around 11 am today.
The owner of the micro-light private plane, Yogesh Garg, a resident of Delhi, was reportedly killed as he was trying to take pictures of the aircraft when it was landing.
According to reports, the deceased came to the airport with two friends, but chose not to fly and asked his friends to take a small flight as he took their pictures from the ground. As the aircraft was about to land, Mr Garg apparently got dangerously close and was hit by one of the rotor blades. According to reports, he suffered major injuries on his head and died on the spot.
Anil Thapa, spokesman of Pankh Aviation, which runs the flying club, said the wing and a wheel of the plane was damaged in the incident, but its pilot Anil Gupta and his colleague Purvi escaped unhurt.
The district administration has ordered a probe, which would also cover the alleged lapse by the civil aviation authorities as Mr Garg was allowed to go on to the runway. The Police also said that they were trying to find out who allowed Mr Garg to come on the runway and take pictures.
