The Chhattisgarh government on Monday dismissed reports of a private aircraft crashing in Jashpur district, saying no such evidence was found. It also said that locals did not report hearing any explosion of the plane crashing on a hillside.
The clarification came after reports suggested that a private plane crashed on the hillside situated in the Jashpur-Narayanpur region, killing both pilots. However, the state government and Ministry of Civil Aviation said there were no reports of the plane crash.
Thick smoke was seen at the site, which authorities probed and later said there was no evidence found.
According to the district administration, reports of smoke rising were received from the Narayanpur area of Jashpur district. Collector Rohit Vyas and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Lal Umend Singh reached the spot and conducted an inspection.
Information is being gathered from locals. However, no villagers reported hearing any explosion and no evidence of the crash has been found so far, the state government said.
