The Civil Aviation Ministry tonight set up a four-member committee to probe the cause of Andhra Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's helicopter crash in which he was killed.
The committee has been asked to complete its inquiry and submit its report to the government within two months.
R K Tyagi, Chairman and Managing Director of Pawan Hans Helicopters will head the committee, the Civil Aviation Ministry said in a statement.
The committee will also take the assistance of other experts from Indian Air Force wherever required, it said.
