Lucknow: Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav has decided to sell off the state plane that skidded and nosedived with his uncle and cabinet minister Shivpal Yadav on board in New Delhi's IGI airport two years ago.
Sources said the state civil aviation department has invited bids to sell out the aircraft, Beechcraft Premier IA, which remains grounded since September 22, 2012 when PWD minister Shivpal Yadav had a close shave after the plane skidded off runway 27 at IGI airport while landing at a high speed. He, along with SP spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary, were on their way to Masuri in Ghaziabad where six persons were killed following a riot. The impact was so high the nose-wheel of the aircraft broke. The runway was closed and a probe was ordered by the DGCA.
