Haryana Governor Jagannath Pahadia had a miraculous escape when his plane crashed immediately after taking off from Haryana airport.

The plane was barely 15-20 feet in the air when it went down. A fire broke out in the aircraft but it was not immediately clear what caused the accident and whether the blaze preceded or followed the crash.

Airport sources said the Governor was pulled out of the plane and rushed to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research. Doctors let him go after medical examination.

Nobody in the Haryana Government plane suffered serious injuries.
