Three civilians were killed as a MiG-21 aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed near Rajasthan’s Suratgarh during a routine training sortie on Monday morning. A Court of Inquiry has been instituted to ascertain the cause of the accident, the IAF said.
Hanumangarh SP Sudheer Choudhary said the aircraft crashed in the district’s Bahlolnagar village. “Two women died on the spot while a third, who was critically injured, died in the hospital. Three persons sustained injuries too,” he said.
