Mumbai, March 27 :    Mumbai, March 27:  A small aircraft returning Congress MP Sunil Dutt and members of an industrialist's family to Mumbai from a function in Nashik developed snags mid-air and crash-landed in a field last night, injuring all five on board. The six-seater, twin-engined Piper Apache aircraft, chartered from the Ahmedabad Flying Club, caught fire just as it hit the ground in pitch darkness in Bahaduri village, nearly 100 km from Mumbai. Acting swiftly, villagers broke down the aircraft door and rescued Dutt, the pilot and four other passengers, three of whom were teenaged girls. They also managed to douse the blaze. Villagers called in ambulances and took the injured to a Nashik hospital late at night. Dutt, 70, a former actor and father of Bollywood star Sunjay Dutt, was brought in to Mumbai by a helicopter this morning and admitted to Breach Candy hospital with a dislocated shoulder and fractured leg. Doctors, tonight, described Dutt's condition as stable but said he was kept under observation in the ICU. A PTI report quotes Dutt as saying: 'I am thankful to villagers who brought us out safe from the aircraft and ensured prompt medical service.' Police said Dutt had left Mumbai yesterday morning for Shirpur, district headquarters of Dhule, to inaugurate a gold refinery at the request of industrialist Mukesh Patel, a Rajya Sabha member from Maharashtra. He was returning home to Mumbai with Patel's three daughters and another woman passenger after opening a hospital in Nashik. The pilot, Sohel Nanda, an Air India pilot who had taken a day off from work to fly Dutt and the Patels, was reportedly in critical condition in the Nashik hospital, where he was admitted with the three daughters of the industrialist - Neha, Snehal and Disha. The fifth injured passenger, Purnima Nair, 40, was also in hospital. Within minutes of takeoff, the pilot noted an engine failure. He immediately radioed the Mumbai air traffic control and crash landed around 11.10 pm. As chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh learned of the accident this morning, he sent minister of state for home Kripashankar Singh to Nashik to bring the Patels back. As soon as the helicopter landed on the Raj Bhavan helipad on the Malabar Hill around noon, Dutt was taken to the nearby Breach Candy hospital by his son Sunjay and daughter Priya. Doctors immediately carried out tests on him and found one of his shoulders dislocated and his right leg fractured. There were some minor injuries to his body as well. It is not clear whether the small aircraft was equipped or even allowed to fly long distances at night. It is also not known why Dutt, a frequent flier, had agreed to fly in it late at night.
