Three jawans of the Indian Army were injured on January 9, 2018, during a practice drill for the Army Day in New Delhi on January 15.


The incident occurred due to helicopter boom malfunction. The incident took place when the jawans descended from a helicopter with a rope which snapped - plummeting the jawans to the ground, as reported by Zee News.


An official from the Indian Army said that all the 3 jawans are safe and further investigation is underway.

Army Day is observed on 15 January every year to honour Lieutenant General KM Kariappa, who took over as the first commander-in-chief of the Indian Army on this day.
