Mumbai: A fresh political controversy has erupted in Maharashtra after Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut questioned the circumstances surrounding the aircraft incident involving Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Reacting to concerns raised by Rohit Pawar, Raut said the emerging details about the incident are “very serious” and deserve proper investigation. He pointed specifically to reports that the aircraft’s black box was damaged in a fire.
“Rohit Pawar is a member of that family, he understands technical matters. The mysterious facts emerging about Ajit Pawar’s accident are very serious. The black box has burned. The black box has been found even after 20 years, but Ajit Pawar’s flight’s black box has burned. How can this be possible?” Raut said.
He further added that if Rohit Pawar has raised questions, they cannot be ignored. “If Rohit Pawar has raised this issue, then it is a serious issue, and if the Pawar family wants to investigate it, they should do so. The government’s intentions in this matter are not right,” he alleged.
The remarks have intensified political tensions, with opposition leaders demanding clarity on how crucial flight data equipment could be destroyed.
