Helicopter Crash Kills All Occupants in India

A devastating helicopter crash in northern India’s Uttarakhand state has claimed the lives of all seven people on board, including the pilot and a two-year-old child.

The aircraft, an Aryan Aviation Bell 407, was traveling from Kedarnath to Guptkashi, a popular pilgrimage route in the Himalayas, when it went missing around 5:30 AM.

Rescue teams, including the State Disaster Response Force, have launched a relief operation. This incident follows a recent plane crash in Ahmedabad, where over 270 people lost their lives.

The sole survivor of the plane crash is recovering well and expected to be discharged soon.

Relatives of the plane crash victims have begun submitting DNA samples to identify their loved ones. Investigations into both incidents are underway, with the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau probing the helicopter crash and authorities working to determine the causes of these tragic events.
