After Wing Commander Abhinandan's Mig-21 crashing across the border in Pakistan due to some technical error, another case of an Mig-21 crashing has surfaced in Rajasthan's Bikaner but the pilot has ejected safely before the crash as reported by the sources. The aircraft is said to be on a routine mission crashing in Shoba Sar ki Dhani area.

A court of enquiry has been set up to investigate the cause which is likely to be a bird hit as suggested by the experts and initial inputs.
