Seven people were feared dead after a chopper en route to Kedarnath Shrine crashed in Uttarakhand, the officials said on Sunday.
The pilot is among those feared dead in the crash.
The visuals showed the wreckage of the helicopter in flames in an open field. The crash occurred between Gaurikund and Triyuginarayan while en route to the shrine.
According to officials, the chopper belonged to Aryan Aviation, and there were 7 people on board.
The officials believe bad weather may be the cause of the tragic incident.
This comes days after an ill-fated Air India flight 171 crashed in Ahmedabad shortly after taking off for London. 241 people, including the cabin crew, died in the crash on June 12. There was merely one survivor in the incident, a British national.
The horrific videos of the crash surfaced online, sending shockwaves across the country and the world. The black box of the aircraft was recovered on Friday evening, and the decoding of the data is underway.
Officials said that the black box data report would ascertain the cause behind the shocking crash of the Air India flight.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the crash site and met with the victims, including the lone survivor.
