'Condolences Are Useless, Need To Identify Root Cause': Sanjay Raut Questions Ajit Pawar's Death In Baramati Plane Crash - VIDEO

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday, January 29, demanded a thorough and transparent investigation into the Baramati plane crash that led to the untimely death of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and four others.

Raising concerns over repeated charter flight accidents across the country, Raut questioned, "Such a major accident occurred in Ahmedabad. What happened? An investigation was launched, but has anything come to light? So many chartered flight accidents have occurred, and so many people have died."

He added that if the accident was caused by a technical fault in the aircraft, a radar malfunction, or an issue at the airport, merely offering condolences would achieve nothing. "If there was a technical fault in the flight, a problem with the radar system, or something at the airport, then what? What will be achieved by sending condolences? If the accident occurred due to technical issues, we all need to identify the root causes," Raut added.

Yesterday, in a video message, NCP–SCP chief Sharad Pawar ruled out any conspiracy surrounding the tragic death of his nephew Ajit Pawar. Breaking his silence on the incident, the veteran leader said the crash was purely an accident and should not be given a political conspiracy. "This is an accident, no politics in it."

Ajit 'Dada' Pawar died on Wednesday in a plane crash at Baramati airport, leaving behind a long career of ups and downs in politics. He was headed to Baramati to attend a public rally for the Zilla Parishad Elections. The last rites of the late leader were conducted today with full state of honours at the Vidya Pratishthan Maidan in Baramati.

Meanwhile, the officials probing the plane crash have recovered the voice recorder and flight data recorder from the accident spot. The police registered an accidental death report (ADR) case in connection with the plane crash. The plane crashed barely 200 metres from the edge of a tabletop runway at the Baramati airport. "We have registered an accidental death report (ADR) with the Baramati taluka police station," confirmed a senior police officer from the Pune rural police.
