VSR Ventures Claims Ajit Pawar's Plane Was Fit, Low Visibility Caused Crash

  • Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and four others died in a plane crash in Baramati, Maharashtra.
  • VSR Ventures, owner of the aircraft, stated the plane was "absolutely fit" and low visibility likely caused the accident.
  • The Learjet 45 aircraft (VT-SSK) crashed near Baramati while Pawar was en route for election campaigning.
  • The DGCA is investigating the incident; VSR Ventures highlighted the pilot's decision during the approach.
  • The aircraft had a valid Airworthiness Review Certificate until September 2026, and the pilot-in-command had over 15,000 hours of flying experience.

Why It Matters: VSR Ventures attributes Ajit Pawar's fatal plane crash to low visibility, asserting the aircraft was fit.
