NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar has intensified calls for a transparent and independent investigation into the Baramati Learjet crash that killed his uncle Ajit Pawar and four others on January 28. He wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu to resign until the probe is complete, alleging irregularities and potential conflicts of interest involving the aircraft operator and regulatory oversight. Pawar has also sought CBI involvement, questioned technical aspects of the accident, and highlighted alleged links between influential figures and the charter company. Public and political pressure for accountability continues. (PC: The Telegraph)
