A day after a Cheetah helicopter strayed into Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Indian army on Monday launched a preliminary probe into the incident and multiple agencies began debriefing of all the four crew members aboard the chopper.
“It was not an error of intention, but an error of judgement. Probe has been initiated to establish the exact reason behind the error on the part of the pilot. The crew is being de-briefed at Kargil base camp. We were told by the crew that they were treated well in PoK,” said an army official. De-briefing is a routine exercise which involves multiple agencies including intelligence agencies questioning the armymen after a mission.
Two Army Aviation Corps pilots Major RG Raja and G Kapila, ferrying an engineer Lt Col SP Verma and a JCO Subedar Akhilesh Sharma, had taken off from Leh to repair a technical snag in another Cheetah grounded in Bhimbat in Drass sector.
