On this Special Report, India Today covers the tragic demise of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP Chief Ajit Pawar in a plane crash at Baramati. The Learjet 45XR twin-engine aircraft crash-landed nearly 50 metres from the runway on Wednesday morning, claiming the lives of all five on board, including two pilots and security personnel. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has released a minute-by-minute account, revealing that while the ATC cleared the landing at 8:43 am, ‘they did not give a read-back of the landing clearance.’ The report highlights that no ‘May Day’ or distress signal was sent before the massive explosion. As a sea of grief engulfs Baramati, senior leaders including Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde have arrived to pay their respects. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau has taken over the probe to solve the mystery of why the aircraft crashed despite calm winds and 3,000-metre visibility.
