According to a source, some important parts like the pilot’s seat, weighing about a tonne, pilot’s helmet and parachute the woman trainee pilot used to eject herself to safety, and few other parts, went missing from the accident site. The source further said that the pilot seat weighing about a tonne is among the missing parts.
Following the directions of Air Force officials investigating into the crash, the local police released an alert message in Duddeda village and other surrounding villages requesting people to return the missing parts of the aircraft if they have picked them up by mistake. The police also sounded an alert that they would initiate stern action if anyone is found possessing them. They have also offered a cash prize to people who return the parts.
