News Alert: Ajit Pawar Dies in Baramati Plane Crash; Wreckage Shows Complete Front Destruction

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar tragically died this morning when his chartered flight from Mumbai to Baramati crashed near the airport, claiming the lives of all five people onboard. The aircraft, identified as a Jet 45 XR operated by VRS Venture Private Limited, included two crew members—Captain Sahil Madan and Captain Yash—along with Ajit Pawar, his personal security officer, and an attendant. Images from the crash site reveal the plane’s front completely destroyed and burned beyond recognition, while only the tail section remains relatively intact. The impact was so severe that debris scattered over a wide area, and the ensuing fire consumed nearby grassland before authorities brought it under control. Local residents were the first to reach the site, followed by investigators and rescue teams meticulously recovering bodies and documenting wreckage for further investigation. The shocking incident has deeply affected the NCP and Maharashtra politics, as Ajit Pawar was scheduled to attend multiple events in Baramati today. Members of his family, including his wife Sunetra Pawar, son Parth Pawar, and NCP leaders such as Supriya Sule, have rushed to the location. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also called Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to inquire about the accident, reflecting the magnitude of this national tragedy.
