The funeral of Wing Commander Hanumanth Rao Sarathi, who lost his life in an air crash in Madhya Pradesh’s Morena on Saturday, is going to be held here in Karnataka’s Belgaum on Sunday evening.

The Indian Air Force on Saturday evening issued an update that Wing Commander Hanumanth Rao Sarathi sustained fatal injuries after two Indian Air Force fighter jets– a Sukhoi Su-30 and a Mirage 2000 — crashed during a training exercise on Saturday in Madhya Pradesh’s Morena. Wing Commander Hanumanth Rao Sarathi was in the Sukhoi Su-30 aircraft.

“IAF deeply regrets to inform you that Wing Commander Hanumanth Rao Sarathi suffered fatal injuries during the accident. All air warriors and the fraternity stand strongly with the bereaved family,” IAF said on Saturday.
