Senior leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), including Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday to demand a CBI investigation into the January 28 plane crash that killed Ajit Pawar.
The crash occurred in Baramati, Pune district, when a Learjet 45 aircraft carrying Ajit Pawar and four others went down while attempting to land. All five on board, including then Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, died in the accident.
Questions about the crash had earlier been raised by Rohit Pawar, Ajit Pawar’s nephew and NCP (SP) MLA.
On Tuesday, Sunetra Pawar joined in demanding a central investigation, submitting a representation to Chief Minister Fadnavis calling for a CBI probe into her husband’s death.
Rohit Pawar has repeatedly questioned the slow pace of the investigation, alleging possible negligence and regulatory failures by Delhi-based VSR Ventures, the operator of the aircraft.
