The incident comes months after an IAF helicopter crashed in Assam’s Majuli island, killing two pilots. Two Indian Air Force pilots were killed in a crash in Majuli in February, minutes after their microlight aircraft took off on a routine sortie, defence ministry officials had said. The aircraft crashed in the river island, soon after taking off from the Jorhat air base. With inputs from PTI
