At least four persons died on Tuesday after being brought out of the Pawan Hans helicopter of the ONGC. Five others rescued from the ill-fated helicopter are undergoing treatment at a medical unit.
The four persons were declared brought dead at the Nanavati Hospital.
The deceased were identified as Mukesh Patel, Vijay Mandloi, Satyambad Patra and Sanju Francis – all of them coming from different states.
A helicopter with two pilots and seven others, including six ONGC employees onboard, fell into the Arabian Sea about 50 nautical miles from the Mumbai coast but managed to stay afloat with the help of the attached floaters.
