Narrative:
The deceased came to B.R. Ambedkar airstrip, Meerut, for a joy ride with two friends Saturday 12 May 2012 in a Raj Hamsa X-Air F ultralight aircraft. But he chose not to fly but asked his friends to take the small flight as he shot their pictures from the ground.
The two friends, after a 15-minute joy flight, were set to land when the deceased apparently got dangerously close to the air strip and was hit by the propeller.
The two friends (pilot and co-pilot) received minor injuries.
