Following the tragic plane crash in Baramati that claimed the life of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally called Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to take details of the accident. The chartered aircraft carrying Ajit Pawar and four others crashed near Baramati airport while approaching for landing, leaving the nation in shock. The crash site has been secured, and the wreckage has been fully cooled to allow investigators to search for the remains of all five victims. Images from the site show the aircraft completely destroyed, with a part of a burned tire being one of the few identifiable pieces.

Authorities and rescue teams are meticulously examining the debris to recover bodies and document the scene for further investigation.
