MUMBAI: Jay Ajit Pawar has strongly criticised the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau’s (AAIB) preliminary report on the plane crash in which his father, former Deputy Chief Minister and NCP President Ajit Pawar, died, calling the probe "incomplete and superficial”. He demanded a wider investigation and the immediate arrest of the airline’s owner. The appeal follows the release of a viral video allegedly showing Rohit Singh, the owner of VSR Ventures, asleep in the cockpit's primary pilot seat during a flight.
Jay Pawar, in his post on social media (Instagram), expressed profound grief and frustration over the current state of the investigation.
“I have read the preliminary report investigated by the AAIB. It causes me immense pain and sorrow to see that this report has not been prepared thoroughly or in-depth. The people of Maharashtra, and all the families who lost their loved ones in this accident, deserve transparent answers and the truth -- not just formal information."
His outcry centres on a video circulating on social media, which appears to show the company’s owner engaging in life-threatening negligence.
