Indian Air Ambulance Makes Emergency Landing in Dhaka; Patient Dies
An Indian air ambulance flying from Agartala to Kolkata made an emergency landing in Dhaka after its door partially opened mid-flight. The aircraft, carrying patient Anjana Bhowmik, two pilots, medical staff, and companions, landed safely at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Bhowmik was taken to a Dhaka hospital where she was declared dead; the cause of death and its link to the technical fault remain unclear. Bangladeshi authorities assisted the flight despite lacking clearance, with diplomatic coordination from the Indian High Commission.
