INLD leader Abhay Chautala safe after emergency landing in Gurgaon

A helicopter carrying senior Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader Abhay Singh Chautala Friday made an emergency landing in Gurgaon, a close associate of the leader said.

No one was hurt in the incident, he said.

Chautala, who is the Leader of Opposition in Haryana Assembly, had taken the chopper of a private aviation company from Gurgaon for Jind.

"He was to address some meetings in Jind. As soon as the chopper had taken off from Gurgaon, the pilot reported some technical issue after which he decided to return to Gurgaon where the chopper made the emergency landing," an aide of Chautala said.

He said that everyone who was on board at the time of the incident was safe.

He said Chautala deferred his Jind programme and later proceeded to Gohana by road for some other function.
