According to eyewitnesses, soon after takeoff, the helicopter did not move forward as expected. Instead, it was seen drifting slightly backward in the air and remained steady for a few seconds.
This created panic among officials, security staff, and people present at the helipad, as the helicopter appeared unstable for a short while.
Pilot acts quickly
Officials said the pilot acted quickly and calmly after noticing the situation. The pilot immediately assessed the conditions and used his experience to control the helicopter safely. Due to his timely action, the helicopter remained under control and avoided any mishap. After stabilising, the flight continued without further trouble.

After the incident, Yadav safely reached Bhopal. There were no reports of injuries to anyone on board, and the helicopter did not suffer any damage. Officials also confirmed that all safety protocols were followed during the flight.
While the exact reason behind the helicopter’s brief instability has not been officially confirmed, factors such as wind conditions or air pressure changes at the time of takeoff are being considered.
The video surfacing online has drawn public attention, but officials have reassured that the situation was handled properly and there was no danger to the Chief Minister or others on board.
