The Indian aviation regulator stated that a plane carrying the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Ajit Pawar, crashed in his constituency of Bharamati on Wednesday, with Pawar, two of his staff members, and two crew members killed. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation said that the plane took off from the state capital Mumbai on the day and had an accident while landing at Bharamati Airport, and the exact cause is still under investigation. Pawar, 66 years old, is the nephew of veteran politician Sharad Pawar and belongs to the faction of the Congress Party founded by him. He has long been active in the local cooperative system and is considered an important figure in the Maharashtra political scene, holding a key position in the federal ruling alliance led by Modi. After the accident, the local authorities announced a three-day mourning period, with government offices and schools closed and public activities canceled.
