The Uttar Pradesh Government is likely to lodge a complaint with DGCA against the private company which purchased government aircraft but did not remove the logo creating confusion that one of the planes from the fleet of the government aircrafts crashed in Mumbai on Thursday. The plane a King Air C90 carrying four persons crashed in the populated area of Ghatkopar.
In all five persons, including one pedestrian were killed in the crash. Initially it was believed that the aircraft which belonged to Government’s fleet had crashed because on one of its wings carried the logo of UP Government with its official emblem. “The plane that crashed near Mumbai did not belong to UP. It was sold out to Silver Jubilee Company of Pune in 2014. It is not in control of UP Government anymore,” a government official said. He said that matter of concern is that the private company did not remove the UP Government logo. This is mis-use of government property and UP Government will lodge complaint with DGCA regarding this.
