A small plane crashed into a residential area near the New Delhi late Wednesday, killing nine people. The single-propeller aircraft went down in Faridabad, damaging several houses and sparking a fire. “We have so far removed nine bodies, seven of them seem to be from the plane and two on the ground,” deputy police chief in Faridabad Praveen Mehta told.
The plane was travelling from the eastern city of Patna to New Delhi carrying a patient in a critical condition to a private hospital in the capital. It also said seven people were on the plane when it crashed, but it put the total death toll at 10, including three victims on the ground.
