An Indian Coast Guard helicopter made an emergency landing six nautical miles north of Murud near Alibaug on Saturday afternoon.
Officials said that the Chetak helicopter was on a routine patrol when some technical difficulties were detected around 25 minutes after it took off, due to which an emergency landing was made near the Nandgaon beach in Murud.
The Indian Navy sent three helicopters to respond to its call. The Coast Guard and Indian Airforce, too, sent a chopper each. All four crew members were rescued and flown to the INHS Ashvini Naval Hospital, where one of them, a lady pilot, is currently being treated for her injuries.
A probe is underway into the reason behind the mishap.
