The Hindu
Findings sent for legal review after which they would be submitted to the Government
The tri-service inquiry ordered into the ill-fated chopper crash which killed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Gen. Bipin Rawat and others is complete with officials indicating the probable cause to be Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT). The findings have been sent for legal review after which the report would be submitted to the Government, a defence official said on condition of anonymity.
“The findings have been sent for legal vetting. It will take about 10 to 15 days for finalisation,” the official said on Friday.
Two officials in the know of the matter said CFIT was the most probable cause of the crash and the inquiry report, once submitted, would throw more light on it.
