Mumbai, (UNI) Sharad Pawar-led NCP MLA Rohit Pawar on Friday accused an official of an air charter company of resorting to bribing officials to “edit” the data of the black box recovered from the ill-fated aircraft, which crashed in Baramati airstrip on January 28, killing then Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Tweeting from his official X accoun, Pawar stated that the official was reportedly trying to edit the flight data recorder (FDR) data in the black-box component which contains all technical aircraft data.
Any … personnel currently assisting or planning to assist in such activity should note that the tampering will be detected during the forensic audit. Once a committee is formed, the forensic audit will be conducted and hence nobody should dare tamper with the data. It should also be noted that though some officers are compromised, many other ,,, officials remain upright and honest,” he said.
Significantly, Rohit Pawar met Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi recently and Gandhi tweeted from his official X account, “Shri Rohit Pawar met me today and submitted a letter raising serious concerns about the investigation into the Baramati aircraft crash that claimed the life of Shri Ajit Pawar ji and others. Basic principles of law appear not to have been followed, and no FIR has been registered despite the seriousness of the matter. This incident warrants a fair, transparent, and impartial investigation”.
Rohit Pawar, who spoke to media persons later, also stated that Rahul Gandhi had assured him that he would do whatever he can about the late Ajit Pawar’s crash. He said that there seems to be a conspiracy by those in power to save certain influential people. UNI BA SSP
