Jaipur, July 10 -- A twin-seater Jaguar trainer aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed in an agricultural field in Rajasthan's Churu district on Wednesday, killing both pilots on board. The incident occurred near Bhanoda village under the Rajaldesar police station limits, where body parts were found scattered at the crash site, confirming the fatalities. Circle officer Ratangarh Anil Kumar said that human body parts were found near the crash site. "An IAF Jaguar Trainer aircraft met with an accident during a routine training mission and crashed near Churu in Rajasthan, today. Both pilots sustained fatal injuries in the accident. No damage to any civil property has been reported," IAF said in a post on X. "IAF deeply regrets the loss of lives and stands firmly with the bereaved families in this time of grief. A court of inquiry has been constituted, to ascertain the cause of the accident," the IAF said. Shortly after the crash, locals rushed to the site and found the aircraft debris engulfed in flames. Police teams from Rajaldesar and Ratangarh stations, along with fire brigades and ambulances, arrived at the scene and cordoned off the area. Parts of the aircraft were seen scattered across the agricultural field, indicating the severity of the impact. Governor Haribhau Bagade, chief minister Bhajanlal Sharma and former CM Ashok Gehlot have expressed grief over the incident. "Sad news of the crash of an Indian Air Force plane in Ratangarh area of Churu district has been received. Immediately after the incident, the administration is on alert mode and instructions have been given to the officials for relief and rescue work," Sharma posted on X. The aircraft had taken off from Suratgarh air base with two pilots onboard. A similar incident took place three months earlier, in April, where a two-seater Jaguar aircraft of the Indian Air Force (IAF) crashed during a night mission shortly after taking off from Jamnagar Airfield. According to the Indian Air Force, the pilots had encountered a technical malfunction mid-flight and ejected to avoid damage to the airfield and nearby populated areas. One of the IAF pilots, Siddharth Yadav, tragically succumbed to injuries sustained during the ejection, while the second pilot was injured in the incident. Earlier, on March 7, a Jaguar fighter aircraft crashed near Ambala in Haryana, with the pilot ejecting safely. India started inducting the jet in the late 70s....
