The body of one of the pilots that was recovered from wreckage of Pawan Hans helicopter that fell into Arabian Sea last week has been identified as that of Capt. TK Guha even as the search is on for the other missing pilot, a Coast Guard official said on Tuesday.
"Capt. Guha's body was brought to the shore this morning at around 8.30 AM and sent for a post-mortem," the Coast Guard spokesman said. Coast Guard had on Monday recovered the body after locating the wreckage, including the cockpit, of the 14-seater VTPWF Dauphin aircraft, six days after the Pawan Hans helicopter crashed into Arabian Sea off Mumbai coast on November 4.
At the time of the incident, Captains E Samuel and Guha were on board the chopper.
While efforts were being led by the companies concerned, Coast Guard ship 'Subhadra Kumari Chauhan' was still in the deep sea to recover more wreckage (of the helicopter), the spokesman said.
