According to Sameer Saurabh, the superintendent of police in Balaghat<\/a><\/strong>, two severely burned bodies were found at the location, which is under the jurisdiction of the Lanji police station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said that a man’s burned body, thought to be that of the pilot Mohit Thakur, had been discovered close to the accident site, around 40 kilometres away from the Balaghat district office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“About 3:45 pm, information was delivered to us (about the crash). Security troops were called since the region is part of a belt that is riddled with Naxalites. As the area was sealed off, additional personnel arrived at the scene. The flight instructor and the female pilot’s badly burned remains have been recovered. The area is a part of the Lanji police station “Saurabh continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
