I believe this tag has now become redundant. As the event is over and there are no longer any speculations. I have removed it. -- Venkat TL ( talk) 03:51, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

20:40, 9 December 2021 (UTC)It is written in incident section that aircraft crashed at 12:10 and reports of crash emerged at 12:20. But contact was lost at 12:22! How is it possible that it was in contact after 12:10 if it crashed? -- Parnaval ( talk) 09:47, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Parnaval, MilborneOne this official statement clears the confusion on time discrepancy. The initial reports may be unreliable. Venkat TL ( talk) 10:19, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
There were two crashes this year. There was another crash landing of another mi-17 on Nov 18 2021 in Arunachal Pradesh where all 5 passengers and crew survived but the incident was not widely reported. I propose renaming of the article and inclusion of a section detailing that Arunachal incident. -- User:Netizenwa 11:05 AM, December 9 2021 (UTC)
Name of the sole survivor Varun Singh has been removed Special:Diff/1059589971. I suggest we revert it back and include this name as a special case. Venkat TL ( talk) 10:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
