Wed Oct 02 06:37:16 UTC 2024: ## Three Killed in Helicopter Crash Near Pune, Low Visibility Suspected

**Pune, Maharashtra** – A helicopter crash in Pune district on Wednesday morning resulted in the deaths of three people. The aircraft, operated by Delhi-based Heritage Aviation, was en route to Beed to pick up NCP leader Sunil Tatkare for a flight to Mumbai.

The helicopter, which took off from Pune’s Oxford Golf Course at 7:30 am, crashed just five minutes later due to heavy fog, according to a senior police official. Low visibility is being considered as a potential cause for the crash.

This is the second helicopter crash in Pune in recent months. In August, a private helicopter, an AW 139 model, belonging to Global Vectra, crashed near Paud village while en route to Hyderabad from Mumbai, injuring four passengers on board.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the latest crash.
