A major aviation incident has been reported near Baramati in Maharashtra, where a small aircraft is said to have crashed close to the airport boundary during the landing phase. According to initial inputs, the aircraft failed to enter the airport premises and went down just outside the airstrip. Visuals emerging from the site show damage that has raised serious concern. Sources claim that Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar may have been onboard the aircraft, as he was scheduled to travel to Baramati for multiple public programs after attending meetings in Mumbai a day earlier. However, there is no official confirmation yet from state authorities, aviation officials, or Ajit Pawar’s office regarding his presence on the plane or his condition. Preliminary speculation suggests a possible technical fault during landing, though weather conditions in Baramati were reportedly clear, ruling out poor visibility or rainfall as contributing factors. The exact cause of the incident will only be known after an official investigation. Emergency agencies are expected to release a formal statement soon. Until then, authorities have urged restraint, stating that verified information will be shared as soon as it becomes available.
