On the other hand, former Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha of India spoke on the possible causes of the plane accident. He said that till now, it is very difficult to say what has gone wrong but when the plane speed and height are low, there is no time to recover. Looking at the way the accident took place, it seems that the power of the engine in the middle of the flight will not be able to fly and the aircraft would not be able to fly due to which it would start coming down very fast and crashed. He feared that the fuel of the aircraft could also cause malfunction.
