What’s inside:
A tragic plane crash in Maharashtra claimed six lives, including a prominent political figure from Bihar.
A terrible plane crash happened in Baramati, Maharashtra on Wednesday, and it has left many shocked. The accident took the lives of all six people on board, including Ajit Pawar, who is the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra. The flight was taking him to an election meeting when the tragedy struck.
The crashed plane belonged to a company called ‘VSR Ventures,’ which is registered in Delhi. However, its owner, Captain VK Singh, hails from Muzaffarpur in Bihar. This connection has deeply affected the people of Muzaffarpur, leading to a sense of mourning in the area after the news broke.
The pilots of the plane, Captain Sumit Kapoor and Captain Shambhavi Pathak, were also known for their involvement in Bihar’s political campaigns, often flying with senior BJP leaders. The aircraft was previously used by important political figures like the Chief Ministers of Maharashtra and Assam for their election tours.
Interestingly, the plane was supposed to reach Patna, Bihar on the same day, with a businessman from Andhra Pradesh scheduled to take a flight from Hyderabad. He was supposed to land in Patna at 10:30 am and return later that evening, but the crash occurred before that could happen.
Following the accident, the businessman quickly arranged another flight to reach Patna. This incident has raised serious concerns about the safety of VVIP aircraft. A team from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is now investigating the crash to determine what went wrong.
