What happened
While maintaining cruising altitude, the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of control. The plane entered a steep dive and struck a mountainside within the Khasi Mountain Range. The accident occurred near Mairang, situated approximately 60 km south of Guwahati.
The impact resulted in the total destruction of the airframe. There were three fatalities among the crew members, with no survivors reported from the flight.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the structural integrity of the aircraft was compromised during flight. The port wing failed after being subjected to aerodynamic loads that exceeded its design limits, leading to an unplanned upward loading event.
