The deposed Prime Minister then left for his Bani Gala residence by road due to a fault in the helicopter. Khan had visited Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa DI Khan district to distribute relief assistance among the flood victims. After repairs, his helicopter will be delivered to Noor Khan Airbase.
Last month, a plane carrying Khan escaped a crash as the aircraft made an emergency landing due to a mid-air technical glitch. The incident happened when he was on his way to Gujranwala by a special plane to address a rally.
In a bid to avert a crash, the pilot of the plane contacted the control tower and managed to land the plane safely. Khan continued his journey to Gujranwala by road after the emergency landing.
