NCP demands CBI probe into plane crash that killed Ajit Pawar

The NCP’s demand for a CBI probe comes after conspiracy theories voiced by NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) party MLA Rohit Pawar last week. At two media interactions in Mumbai and Delhi, Rohit Pawar made a presentation to point out serious lapses, including different versions on visibility, pilot replacement to last minute change in the itinerary of Ajit Pawar.

Seeking an independent probe in the case, Rohit Pawar said, “Foreign agencies such as National Transportation Safety Board France’s Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety or the UK’s Air Accident Investigation Branch should look into the probe.”

“There is ample scope to doubt conspiracy that may have led to the fatal accident,” the NCP(SP) MLA had said.

Shortly after the incident, DGCA and CID initiated an investigation into the aircraft crash.
Earlier, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau in a statement had assured that an impartial investigation would be carried out according to the norms.
