CBI Will Probe Ajit Pawar Plane Crash After AAIB Report Submitted: Fadnavis
Fadnavis said investigators have analyzed black box data and the state will wait for the report before deciding on further action.
- On Friday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is expected to submit its final report on the fatal plane crash that killed Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar by January next year.
- Ajit Pawar died on January 28, 2026, when his Learjet 45 crashed near Baramati airport during a second landing attempt, killing the politician, two crew members, and two staff members.
- Investigators have reconstructed final moments using digital flight data and black box recordings; Fadnavis confirmed that financial records, including bank accounts and insurance policies, revealed no suspicious activity.
- The state government will refrain from drawing conclusions or taking administrative action until the final findings are submitted, ensuring any subsequent decisions are based on the official investigation's conclusions.
- NCP MLA Rohit Pawar and the Opposition have sought a multi-agency inquiry into alleged irregularities, though the administration maintains that aircraft accident investigations are scientific processes requiring significant time.
