Posting pictures, along with a statement, about his meeting on his official X account, Rohit Pawar stated that besides Sonia Gandhi, he met Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. “Kharge told Sonia Gandhi about the detailed discussion held at the meeting and mentioned that it is a very serious matter”.
He visited the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) office in Pune on Friday after VK Singh, a top VSR Ventures air charter company official's statement was recorded there on Thursday.
Top Ajit Pawar-led NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal has openly expressed doubts about the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau’s (AAIB) 22-page preliminary report on the January 28 air crash which killed the late Ajit Pawar.
Speaking to media persons on Monday, Mitkari said, “This preliminary report is extremely flawed. It claims that the aircraft first hit a tree. It does not make any sense. It seems like this report was written after consuming alcohol or ganja”.
The report stated that all aspects of the accident would be thoroughly examined to determine the facts, root causes and contributory factors behind the crash.
The AAIB’s report revealed that both fuel control switches supplying fuel to the engines of Air India Flight 171 were turned off in quick succession, leading to the shutdown of both engines.
The AAIB on early Saturday released its 15-page preliminary report of the probe into the tragic Air India plane crash resulting in the deaths of 260 individuals, including 229 passengers, 12 crew members, and 19 people on the ground in Ahmedabad on June 12.
