NCP Leader Pushes for Probe on Ajit Pawar Plane Crash Mystery

A senior NCP (Ajit Pawar group) figure, Amol Mitkari, confronted Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis today, insisting on a top-tier inquiry into the January 28 plane crash that claimed former Dy CM Ajit Pawar’s life. The meeting underscores rising doubts over the VSR flight’s condition and the circumstances of the tragedy.

Post-meeting media interaction painted a picture of urgency. ‘Our entire NCP team met the CM,’ Mitkari explained. ‘That flight wasn’t airworthy—no VIP should fly in such a state. Ajit Pawar boarded it, and it crashed. We demand a high-level probe.’ While Fadnavis noted an ongoing CID investigation, Mitkari argued it’s insufficient for a stunned state seeking closure.

The CM’s personal anguish was evident, Mitkari noted, as Pawar was his Mahayuti mainstay and dear friend. ‘He’s supporting Sunetra Pawar like family and committed to a thorough high-level review.’ This pledge aims to demystify Pawar’s untimely end.

Mitkari’s firsthand accounts add intrigue: ‘I’ve traveled with him 12 times by air. Ajit was meticulous—scrutinizing weather, takeoff viability, halting flights if risks loomed. It’s baffling he chose that plane.’

On Sharad Pawar’s crash-day remarks, Mitkari offered empathy: ‘Given the chaos, a veteran leader like him, grieving his son, chose words to prevent uproar. We get it, but transparency is now paramount.’

As whispers of foul play circulate, Mitkari’s advocacy amplifies calls for answers. Maharashtra’s political landscape braces for revelations, with the probe poised to redefine trust in aviation safety and leadership bonds.

NCP MLC Demands Investigation into IPS Officer Anjana Krishna’s Documents, Writes to UPSC

Following a dispute involving a viral video, IPS officer Anjana Krishna faces scrutiny. NCP leader Amol Mitkari has requested the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to investigate Krishna’s documents. Mitkari has written a letter to the UPSC Secretary, spurred by a viral video concerning Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister, Ajit Pawar. The controversy stems from a situation in Solapur’s Madha area involving illegal soil mining. The video allegedly shows Pawar speaking with Krishna via phone to halt the illegal mining. Krishna is purported to have refused to acknowledge Pawar, after which the call ended. The video circulated widely on social media, generating controversy. Mitkari’s letter to the UPSC Secretary calls for an examination of Krishna’s educational and caste certificates, along with other documents. He expressed doubts regarding the authenticity of the documents and requested the commission to verify their accuracy through investigation. The incident occurred when Krishna, upon learning about the illegal soil mining, arrived at the site with her team. When she initiated action, NCP leader Baba Jagtap Singh contacted Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and asked him to speak with Krishna. Krishna allegedly refused to recognize Pawar, requesting a call from his official number. Consequently, the call ended, and the video went viral. Anjana Krishna hails from Thiruvananthapuram. She secured the 355th rank in the 2023 UPSC exam and currently serves as DSP in Karmala, Solapur. Her father is a small cloth merchant, and her mother works as a typist in court. Krishna is described as a fearless IPS officer.
