The IAF on Friday made a cargo plane from Georgia to force-land at Jaipur on Friday after it entered the Indian airspace from Karachi through an undesignated route in Gujarat. Fighter jets including SU-30s were scrambled to intercept the plane after it initially did not respond to radio call from Indian controlling agencies. The incident took place at a time when the entire western border with Pakistan is on high alert post Pulwama terror attack and subsequent events and the IAF is on full alert.
“Investigations by various agencies are now on about the incident on Friday. It was learnt the Indian radars picked up the plane entering north Gujarat from Karachi through an undesignated route at about 3.15 pm and after not getting any response, the IAF finally made the plane to force land at Jaipur at about 4.30 pm.
