Senior political leader Sharad Pawar has described the plane crash that killed his nephew, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, as a pure accident with no political motives, urging parties and public not to politicise the tragedy. Ajit Pawar, 66, died along with four others when the aircraft crashed near Baramati airport during landing. Some leaders, including West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, called for a Supreme Court‑monitored probe amid suggestions of foul play. Sharad Pawar appealed for restraint, stressing the loss to Maharashtra and dismissing conspiracy claims as baseless. (PC: India Today)
