A Chetak helicopter of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crash-landed and toppled in a field near Allahabad after developing a technical snag. Both pilots are safe, the IAF said.
The IAF helicopter was on a routine training sortie and had taken off from Bamrauli air base, around 12 kilometer from Allahabad city.
The chopper developed a technical snag and toppled as pilots tried to land on an uneven field, the IAF said.
"Both pilots are safe and a Court of Inquiry has been ordered," an IAF spokesperson said.
