Initial inputs confirmed that the pilot was safe after being rescued by the locals. Visuals from the scene of the accident showed plumes of smoke in the air.
In May of this year, another MiG-21 Bison fighter jet crashed in an open field at Langeana Nawan village in Punjab’s Moga district, killing its pilot.
The jet had taken off from Suratgarh in Rajasthan for Jagraon in Ludhiana for a night training exercise. Officials said the aircraft crashed in Moga when the pilot was returning to Suratgarh.
