Call for Thorough Investigation into Plane Crash by Ajit Pawar's Son
Pune. Following the tragic plane crash last month that claimed the life of Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's younger son, Jay Pawar has called for a comprehensive investigation, expressing concerns over potential serious lapses. He emphasized that the aircraft's black box cannot be easily destroyed.
In a social media statement, Jay Pawar asserted that the people of Maharashtra deserve to know the full and transparent truth regarding the incident. He also urged for a ban on VSR Ventures Private Limited, the aviation company responsible for the Learjet 45XR that crashed near Baramati airstrip on January 28, resulting in the deaths of his father Ajit Pawar and four others.
His remarks came a day after Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar and leaders from the NCP met with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, advocating for a CBI investigation into the plane crash.
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) announced on Tuesday that they have requested specialized assistance to retrieve data from the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the ill-fated Learjet 45.
