IAF fighter aircraft crashes in Punjab due to technical snag

In a troublesome piece of news, an Indian Air Force fighter jet crashed near Rurki Kalan village in Punjab's Nawanshahr district. The aircraft which went down was a MiG-29. Villagers said the pilot ejected safely while some reports said he was taken to a hospital in Hoshiarpur. In an official statement, the IAF said a court of inquiry has been ordered.

The aircraft had developed a technical snag and the pilot ejected safely as he was unable to control the aircraft," a statement from IAF, released a short while ago, read.
