Latur, Maharashtra, May 25 (IBNS) : Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had a providential escape when his helicopter crash landed at Latur on Thursday afternoon after getting entangled in wires.

"Our helicopter did meet with an accident in Latur but me and my team is absolutely safe and ok. Nothing to worry,"  Fadnavis tweeted.

The chief minister, speaking to NDTV, said there were four people in the chopper when the crash happened. “Fortunately, I have the blessings of more than 11 crore people of Maharashtra so I have escaped without any injuries,” he said. He also said that his vitals have been checked and that he is stable.
