Indian Air Ambulance Makes Emergency Landing in Bangladesh; Patient Dies
An Indian air ambulance flying from Agartala to Kolkata made an emergency landing in Dhaka after a technical fault caused the aircraft's door to partially open mid-flight. The aircraft, carrying seven people including two pilots, medical staff, and a patient, landed safely at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. The 56-year-old patient, Anjana Bhowmik, was taken to a Dhaka hospital where she was declared dead. The cause of her death and any link to the aircraft malfunction remain unclear. Bangladeshi authorities assisted despite lacking prior clearance for the landing.
