Baramati air crash: Rohit files complaint against VSR Ventures

NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar on Wednesday filed a complaint at a police station against VSR Ventures and its directors in connection with the January 28 plane crash in which his uncle and then Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar died.
As the matter is linked to the accidental death report registered at Baramati following the crash, the complaint was being forwarded to the Crime Investigation Department (CID), Pune, said a police official. VSR Ventures operated the ill-fated Learjet-45 plane, which crashed in Baramati in Pune district with Nationalist Congress Party chief Ajit Pawar and four others on board. On Tuesday, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) ordered the grounding of four aircraft of VSR Ventures over non-compliance of approved procedures in the areas of airworthiness, air safety, and flight operations. Earlier in the day, Rohit Pawar, who has been questioning the circumstances surrounding the plane crash, alleged that the Mumbai police refused to register a First Information Report in the case.
