The Maharashtra Crime Investigation Department (CID) has started probing the plane crash in Baramati that killed Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and four others. The State police transferred the case of accidental death to the CID after a crash on January 28. Pune Rural police registered the case under section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The crash happened at Baramati, Pune district, just 200 metres from the tabletop airstrip's edge. Pawar, 66, took off from Mumbai. The four others who died include Captain Sumit Kapoor with 15,000 flying hours, co-pilot Captain Shambhavi Pathak with 1,500 hours, Pawar’s Personal Security Officer Vidip Jadhav, and flight attendant Pinky Mali. CID officials have started gathering documents from Pune Rural police and will visit the crash site. The investigation aims to rule out any sabotage to the plane before the journey. Simultaneously, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), under the Civil Aviation Ministry, has launched a formal probe into the incident.
