Dornier crash: Body of 2nd Navy Officer recovered, search called off
The search operation has been called off with the recovery of the body of Lt Abhinay Nagori from the fuselage.
On Thursday, the body of one woman Navy Officer, identified as Lieutenant Kiran Shekhawat, was recovered from the wreckage of the Navy Dornier aircraft.
The debris of a Dornier maritime surveillance aircraft was found on Thursday morning using under water SONAR system.
Reports said INS Makar, a naval hydrographic vessel, had detected a large metallic object likely to be the fuselage of the ill- fated Navy Dornier.
The aircraft, which was on a routine training sortie, crashed on Tuesday with three officers onboard.
The aircrew onboard the aircraft comprised three officers-two pilots and one woman observer. One pilot was rescued earlier.
