A probe has been ordered into the plane crash that killed Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and four others. The Maharashtra government has asked the Criminal Investigation Department to investigate the crash in Baramati. The aircraft went down while landing. A new CCTV video has surfaced, showing the jet turning sideways before impact. Experts have suggested three possible causes. These include engine failure, an aerodynamic stall, or a sharp turn close to the ground. The Ministry of Civil Aviation said the black box has been recovered.
