Pune: In a tragic incident, a helicopter crash in the Bavdhan Budruk area of Pune has resulted in the deaths of three people, including two pilots and an engineer.

The crash occurred on a hill owned by KK Builders, and early reports suggest that thick fog in the area may have played a significant role in the accident.

The helicopter, which was flying from the Oxford Golf Helipad, crashed approximately 1.5 kilometers away from its departure point.

Local authorities were alerted after the Hinjewadi Police Control Room received information about the crash. Emergency response teams, including police and rescue personnel, rushed to the scene to investigate the cause of the crash and secure the area.

The exact circumstances of the crash remain unclear, but weather conditions, particularly the heavy fog blanketing the region, are being considered a possible factor. The helicopter reportedly encountered visibility issues just before it crashed into the hillside.

The victims, two pilots and an engineer, were on board the helicopter at the time of the accident. All three individuals were found dead at the scene.

Their identities are being verified, and their families have been informed. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination as part of the investigation.
