A blast-like sound in Nashik’s Dindori area caused panic among residents, but police confirmed it originated from a Sukhoi fighter jet. The sound, which traveled 25 kilometers and damaged some window panes, was clarified by Superintendent of Police Balasaheb Patil, who reassured citizens that there was no threat. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) was consulted for details, and local authorities were instructed to assess any property damage, although no such reports emerged. This incident highlights the operational activities of the Indian Air Force and the need for public awareness regarding military exercises to mitigate unnecessary panic.
