NEW DELHI: While the world struggles to come to terms with the shooting down of the Malaysian passenger aircraft that killed 298 passengers and crew over Ukraine, it has come to light that the Air India flight carrying Prime Minister Narendra Modi was on the same path as the MH17 Boeing 777, a report in The Hindu newspaper has claimed.
The newspaper reported that the prime minister’s flight back to India was rerouted after the incident, in which 298 people died.
Modi’s flight – Air India 1 – had taken off from Frankfurt, Germany, about two hours before the Malaysian airliner was hit supposedly by a surface-to-air missile.
The report said that Modi’s flight would have flown over the same area only some minutes after the Malaysian passenger jet was shot down had it continued on the same flight path.
Meanwhile, it is being speculated that Russian President Vladimir Putin whose flight back to Moscow too was through the same route might have been the real target of the rebels who purportedly shot down the MH17.
Earlier, Putin blamed Ukraine for the incident saying that the nation bore responsibility for the downing of the Malaysian passenger plane and pointing out that it would not have happened if Kiev had not resumed a military campaign against separatists.
