On July 9, 2025, a two‑seater Jaguar trainer aircraft crashed near Bhanoda village in Rajasthan’s Churu district during a routine training sortie, killing Squadron Leader Lokender Singh Sindhu and Flight Lieutenant Rishi Raj Singh . Sindhu, 32, from Haryana’s Rohtak, had just become a father on June 10 and returned to duty June 30 . Eyewitnesses say one pilot bravely steered the stricken jet away from populated areas, likely saving lives on the ground . This marks the third Jaguar crash this year, prompting concerns over aircraft safety and prompting a court of inquiry. (Hindustan Times)
