A private helicopter carrying self-styled godman Asaram Bapu's son Narayan Sai and three others crash-landed, apparently due to a technical snag, in a cemetery at Gomatipur area in Ahmedabad, police said.
However, the occupants of the four-seater VTHPC-make chopper of TEJ Airways escaped with minor injuries when it made a vertical crash-landing in Chartoda cemetery after declaring an emergency at around 6:22 pm, apparently due to some technical snag, Air Traffic Control sources said.
According to the police Sai, two devotees and the pilot were safe and escaped with minor injuries.
The helicopter, hired by Sai, was coming from Godhra and was scheduled to land at the heliport at Asaram's ashram.
Rescue teams from Fire department and three emergency vehicles rushed to the spot.
Sai and others were taken to Gomtipur police station.
