The two-seater Cessna 152 plane with the two pilots aboard crashed at around 1.30 pm, possibly due to engine failure after remaining airborne for 40 minutes, Guna Cantt police station in-charge Dileep Rajoria said.

The injured pilots, V Chandra Thakur and Nagesh Kumar, are now out of danger. They have been admitted to a hospital. Officials said the plane had arrived here a few days ago for testing and maintenance, adding that aviation officials would carry out a detailed probe into the matter.

Guna Tehsildar GS Bairwa said that Sha-Shib Flying Academy’s manager said the trainee aircraft had arrived in Guna some months ago from Karnataka's Belagavi Aviation and Sports Enterprises. — PTI
