Prez copter mishap: Probe not yet over, says IAF

New Delhi: The IAF today strongly rebutted reports that an internal probe had given a "clean chit" to its pilots involved in the mishap of the President's helicopter at Bhubaneswar airport and blamed ground staff for the incident.
"The court of inquiry into the incident is still incomplete and it is too premature to come to any conclusions on who was at fault," IAF spokesperson Wing Commander T K Singha said here in the wake of TV channel reports claiming preliminary findings showed the pilots were not at fault.
Singha said the probe would take more time to come up with a report, which would have to go through senior IAF officers before the findings are finalised.
