On July 10, the helicopter crashed in Sungai Pulai, Gelang Patah during the Multilateral Nuclear Security Detection Exercise (MITSATOM) 2025, a joint training operation involving Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore at the Gelang Patah Maritime Jetty. It was reported that Devendran, who is attached to the Iskandar Puteri district police headquarters, had to be sedated due to a lung infection caused by drowning during the incident. The helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing near the Sungai Pulai jetty on July 10.
