The Bangladesh government has established a nine-member commission to investigate last week's crash of its Air Force training jet into a school in Dhaka, which resulted in the deaths of 34 people, predominantly students, according to a media report.

The F-7 BGI aircraft, a Chinese-manufactured training fighter jet, reportedly suffered a "mechanical fault" shortly after takeoff last Monday and subsequently crashed into a two-storey building of Milestone School and College in Dhaka's Uttara area.

The probe commission, led by former secretary AKM Zafar Ullah Khan, has been tasked with submitting its report within four weeks, The Daily Star newspaper cited a Cabinet Division gazette issued on Sunday. The other members of the commission include a retired air vice marshal, three additional secretaries from different ministries, the Dhaka divisional commissioner, an urban planner, and a professor from the mechanical engineering department of the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
