Nitin Satpute demands CBI probe into plane crash killing Ajit Pawar

Mumbai: Veteran lawyer Nitin Satpute has demanded a probe by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the circumstances that led to the crash of the plane carrying Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP President Ajit Pawar.

“DCM Ajit Pawar plane crash is doubtful. Need to be inquired by a High Court judge and Human Rights Commission, whether the plane was deliberately kept defective or there was any technical fault or any political conspiracy ? Need to be investigated by CBI,” he posted on social media.

Pawar (66), the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, and four others were killed after an aircraft carrying them crashed near Baramati in Pune district on Wednesday morning.
