Indian actress in chopper crash BANGALORE, India (AFP) An Indian movie star campaigning in upcoming elections was among four people killed Saturday when their helicopter crashed after takeoff near the southern city of Bangalore, police said. Actress Soundarya, a leading light in Telegu-language cinema, was travelling to the adjoining state of Andhra Pradesh on a campaign stop when the privately owned helicopter crashed, a police spokesman said. The four-seater helicopter caught fire minutes after takeoff from Jakkur airstrip on the outskirts of Bangalore, the spokesman said. Soundarya had recently joined Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which is vying for another term in national elections that start Tuesday. |
