Paramilitary plane crashes near Indian airport killing all 10 on board

 A paramilitary plane crashed into a wall and burst into flames just outside an Indian airport, killing all 10 people on board, officials said.
The Super King plane, chartered by India's Border Security Force, smashed into a boundary wall at New Delhi's main airport and landed in a small pool of water, a spokesman for the fire service said.
Eight of the crew members were engineers and the other two were pilots.

It happened shortly after the crew were taking off from New Delhi to the eastern city of Ranchi this morning.
At least 15 fire engines were at the site of the crash trying to extricate the wreckage, which was partially submerged in water, A.K. Sharma, director of Delhi Fire Services said.

An inquiry has been ordered to determine the cause of the crash of the Super King plane belonging to India's Border Security Force, Junior Aviation Minister Mahesh Sharma told reporters.
