APAC’s version on YSR’s chopper crash accepted

Hyderabad: Nearly three years after the then Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy died in a helicopter crash, it has finally been concluded that no one is responsible for lapses leading to the crash. The Director General of Civil Aviation arrived at the conclusion on Tuesday by accepting the explanation of AP Aviation Corporation (APAC) deputy quality control manager M. Lakshman Rao, who was then responsible for maintenance of VIP helicopters at Begumept old airport. While the CBI had earlier found him at fault in the crash, but now that DGCA has accepted his explanation, sources in APAC said the CBI recommendations for action against Mr Lakshman Rao would be dropped.
