The chief minister was on his way to Aurangabad – along with his personal secretary, Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan and his cook Satish – to address a public meeting, Hindustan Times reported. The helicopter took off after Satish alighted.
On July 7, Fadnavis narrowly missed being struck by a helicopter’s tail rotor in Alibaug, near Mumbai, when his security guards pushed him out of harm’s way as the pilot started the engines before the chief minister had boarded, PTI reported. A month before that, a chopper carrying Fadnavis was forced to crash-land in Latur after it developed a technical problem.
