"The aircraft is said to be 5 years old. It was manned by Captain Glusik, a Serbian National and co-piloted by Alhuwalia, an Indian National. The Captain had attempted to land the plane on the middle of the runway but overshot it by 300 meters. After this he tried to take off again but the left wing of the plane hit a pole and the plane went out of control. The plane landed one kilometer far from the runway after crashing into a village, caught fire and exploded."
