NEW DELHI: Congress today suspected that a plane carrying its chief
Rahul Gandhi was intentionally tampered and demanded an investigation into the matter.
In a letter written by Rahul aide Kailash Vidyarthee to DG & IG Karnataka, it was alleged that a special plane, New Delhi-Hubli, with four people on board, including Rahul Gandhi, developed "unexplained technical failures" during the flight.
"Serious questions related to intentional tampering with the aircraft cannot also be brushed aside and are required to be addressed and investigated," wrote Vidyarthee.
The letter says that just before arriving at Hubli the plane suddenly tilted heavily on the left side and started losing altitude with violent shuddering.
Vidyarthee also claimed that the unusual activity of the aircraft was not related to weather.
"It is to be stated that the weather outside was sunny, normal and not windy as per the observation of the passengers and as per the forecast for the day," he wrote.
