A private helicopter carrying Samajwadi Party leader Raghuraj Pratap Singh crash landed on a highway at Dhimi village under Hathgawan police circle of Pratapgarh district, on Sunmday evening.
A former minister, Singh who is better known as 'Raja Bhaiya', was rushed to a private hospital in Allahabad where he was stated to be "out of danger."
He was stated to have suffered a fracture of the lower limb. His trainer, Bhutto was also hurt.
According to a senior police official, the feudal lord-turned-politician was flying the two-seater helicopter along with his trainer pilot along the banks of the Ganga river , when he lost control and crash landed on the highway .
His family members and associates were however tight-lipped about the whole affair, understandably because Raja Bhaiya had not cared to get himself registered
as a trainee pilot, which is mandatory.
