Ajit Pawar Plane Crash: What Happened
- The small aircraft took off from Mumbai around 8:00 am
- The crash occurred about 45 minutes later during a landing attempt near Baramati airport
- The aircraft was a Learjet 45, operated by a private company named VSR
- Visuals from the spot showed fire, thick smoke, and mangled remains of the plane

DGCA Confirms Deaths
The DGCA stated that the Learjet 45 was carrying five passengers, including Ajit Pawar, and none survived. An aircraft of the same model had crashed in Mumbai in September 2023, raising renewed concerns over aviation safety.
Political Journey and Recent Developments
Ajit Pawar, 66, was one of Maharashtra’s most influential political leaders. He was the nephew of veteran leader Sharad Pawar and the cousin of Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule.
In 2023, he led a major split in the NCP, forming a separate faction and later joining the NDA government as Deputy Chief Minister. In recent weeks, there were strong discussions about a possible reunion of the two NCP factions, and both sides had contested the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation elections together.
Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule Rush Back
At the time of the accident, Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule were in Delhi for the Parliament budget session. They are expected to leave immediately for Pune following the tragic news.
Mamata Banerjee Raises Conspiracy Concerns
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee added a new political dimension to the tragedy. Speaking to the media, she claimed there were reports that Ajit Pawar was considering leaving the BJP alliance, and soon after, this incident occurred.
Mamata Banerjee demanded a proper and thorough investigation, following which many began questioning whether the crash was just an accident or if there was a conspiracy behind it. So far, no other leader has made similar claims.
No Official Statement Yet
As of now, the NCP leadership, the Pawar family, the Maharashtra government, and the police have not issued any detailed statement explaining the cause of the crash. Authorities have not clarified whether a special investigation or high-level probe will be ordered.
The Ajit Pawar plane crash near Baramati has shaken the political landscape of Maharashtra. With questions still unanswered and calls for investigation growing, the nation awaits clarity on whether this was a tragic accident or something more.
