A tragic air ambulance crash in Jharkhand claimed the lives of seven people, including a patient and two crew members.

An air ambulance crash in Jharkhand has resulted in the unfortunate deaths of seven individuals, comprised of two crew members and five passengers, including a patient and their family members. The aircraft had taken off from Ranchi bound for Delhi at 7:11 PM IST, but the pilot sensed a potential technical or meteorological issue shortly after reaching an altitude of 6000 feet. Following contact with Kolkata, the aircraft requested to change its course due to adverse weather conditions. However, communication with the Kolkata control room was lost at around 7:34 PM, approximately 100 nautical miles southeast of Varanasi, leading to the aircraft disappearing from radar.
