Air ambulance makes emergency landing in Delhi
An air ambulance coming from Patna with seven people, including a brain haemorrhage patient, on board made an emergency landing in a field in the outskirts of Delhi after both of its engines failed.
The air ambulance - a six seater Beechcraft's King Air C-90A aircraft (VT-EQO) was only a few miles away from Delhi when the engine malfunction led it to make an emergency landing in Najafgarh village in west Delhi at around 2.40 p.m.
An official said the aircraft was only six miles away from the runway number 10 of the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
One of the seven occupants, identified as Bhagwan Rai, 60, received injuries and was rushed to Rao Tula Ram Memorial hospital where his condition is stated to be stable.
"Bhagwan had received minor abrasion on his head and some injuries on his thighs. He is stable and is being treated. He will be referred to Medanta hospital soon," Rao Tula Ram Memorial Hospital's chief medical officer Neha Martolia told IANS.
