The black box of the Mirage 2000 and a part of the flight data recorder of the Sukhoi-30MKI jet that crashed after taking off from the Gwalior Air Force station, Madhya Pradesh, have been found in the wreckage, an official said on Sunday. Teams of the Indian Air Force studied and inspected a forested area of Pahargarh, where the debris fell on Saturday.

A search is in progress for the rest of the Sukhoi aircraft recorder, which might have fallen in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, Morena SP Ashutosh Bagri said.
