As per officials present at the spot, the helicopter which took off from Haldwani post 2:30 pm in afternoon from Dehradun, had to immediately land due to strong winds blowing in the region and the rain, storm had hit the capital city.

In the unprecedented situation, even after landing the blades of the chopper could not be stopped and hence, it became tough for the pilot to evacuate the passengers, along with Manoj Tiwari. The pilot had to then ask the passengers to exit the helicopter immediately, before any unforeseen situation arises.
