Union Minister for Development of North Eastern region B.K. Handique today announced in Itanagar that the body of the Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu, who was killed in the helicopter crash, was identified by one of his close relatives.
“One of his relatives identified the body of the 56 year old Khandu while the other bodies have been charred beyond recognition,” he told media persons.
When media persons wanted to know about the successor to Khandu, he said that all things would be taken care of. The single engine Pawan Hans helicopter carrying Khandu and four others went missing soon after taking off from Tawang Saturday morning.
The wreckage of the helicopter and the bodies were found this morning after five days of frantic search by the army and air force helicopters.
