They said the aircraft was on a routine training mission and crashed around 10.30 am. The pilot, Air Commodore Sanjay Chauhan, died in the crash, the sources said. A Court of Inquiry into the incident has been ordered by the air headquarters to investigate the cause of the accident, the sources said.
