Maharashtra MLA Rohit Pawar has raised serious questions regarding the investigation of the plane crash involving former Deputy CM Ajit Pawar. He stated that it is not right to blame the pilot for the accident until the black box data is made public. His statement comes after reports indicated that the aircraft company owner attributed the incident to pilot error.

How can pilot error be claimed without black box data?
Rohit Pawar questioned the claims made by VK Singh, the owner of VSR Ventures, who reportedly blamed the pilot for the crash. The MLA pointed out that the black box is the primary source of truth in aviation accidents. He asked how a company owner could have access to such information or make such a conclusion when the official data has not been revealed yet. This has created a stir in the ongoing investigation process.
Current status of the crash investigation
The investigation into the aircraft accident has been ongoing for several weeks with multiple agencies involved. While the equipment has been recovered, the findings are yet to be finalized. Key points regarding the investigation include:
