Political tensions surrounding the tragic plane crash that killed former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar have intensified, with senior leaders now demanding a fully transparent and independent investigation into the incident. After initial concerns raised by Rohit Pawar and Jay Pawar over discrepancies in the crash details and the reported condition of the aircraft’s black box, Supriya Sule — Member of Parliament and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) leader — publicly echoed the call for clarity. Sule emphasized that in light of persistent doubts and unanswered questions, authorities must ensure that the probe into the January 28 crash is conducted openly and comprehensively to restore public trust.

Rohit Pawar and other party members have pushed for a scientific review rather than a routine inquiry, stressing that critical information should be made available to the public and investigators without delay. With Supriya Sule’s statement amplifying these concerns, there are growing calls among leaders for accountability and a probe that leaves no aspect of the crash unexamined — including potential procedural lapses and technical inconsistencies cited by critics of the official narrative.
