As per District Tourism Officer Rahul Chaubey, the pilot had to make an emergency drop of the helicopter in an open area after the MI-17 began losing balance. Hence, due to combined weight of the helicopter and adverse wind conditions, it resulted in instability.
Later, MI-17, having covered only a short distance, became unsteady and the pilot decided to drop the chopper near the Tharu camp.
