BENGALURU: The Karnataka Police Department on Wednesday transferred the 'Zero FIR' registered in Bengaluru, in connection with the plane crash incident involving NCP leader and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister, late Ajit Pawar, to the Maharashtra Police Department. The case file and related documents have also been sent as part of the transfer.
The Karnataka Police have also requested the Maharashtra Police to transfer the case to the jurisdictional Baramati Rural Police Station in Pune district, Maharashtra.
Karnataka Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Crime and Technical Services, P. Harishekaran, has written to the Maharashtra Director General of Police in this regard.
It may be recalled that a Zero FIR filed in Bengaluru alleged a larger criminal conspiracy behind the January 28, 2026 plane crash near Baramati Airport in Maharashtra, which killed Ajit Pawar and four others.
The complaint, filed on March 23 at the High Grounds Police Station by NCP(SP) MLA Rohit Rajendra Pawar, a nephew of the deceased, claims that the crash was the result of a planned conspiracy to eliminate Ajit Pawar. It also seeks to name all those responsible for the crime as accused.
