Meerut, May 12: Yogesh Garg, CEO of power consultancy firm Infraline Technologies, was killed this morning in a freak mishap on the Partapur airfield near Meerut, when a 2-seater micro light gliding aircraft took off even as Garg was taking photographs on the airstrip.
The wing of the X-air micro light gliding aircraft struck Garg's skull, severing it from his body, spilling blood on the airstrip.
The pilot of the aircraft, Anil Gupta then suddenly applied brakes, and one of the wheels came off.
Gupta and his associate Poorvi were inside the aircraft at the time of takeoff.
The aircraft belongs to Pankh Aviation Club and Yogesh Garg, the owner of the club, had come from Delhi for an early morning gliding.
Meerut Police is investigating as to how Garg was allowed to take pictures on the airstrip, as photography is banned on the airfield.
