Imran Khan helicopter makes emergency landing near Rawalpindi

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing due to a technical problem near Rawalpindi district in Punjab province.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, was returning to the capital city of Islamabad from Dera Ismail Khan when his helicopter developed a technical fault’. The incident occurred near Adiala town of Rawalpindi district.

Khan, who is embroiled in a political battle with the incumbent government of Shehbaz Sharif, was also accompanied by other party leaders. As per reports, all leaders remained safe during the emergency landing as the pilot showed the presence of mind and averted a possible accident.

 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.
