Both flight recorders or the so-called black boxes of the ill-fated Learjet 45 aircraft that crashed on January 28 in Baramati, claiming the lives of then Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and four others, sustained fire damage and while data from one of the recorders has been downloaded successfully, foreign technical assistance has been sought for data retrieval from the other units, the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) said Tuesday.
The update on the crash investigation comes amid Ajit Pawar’s nephew and Nationalist Congress Party (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar’s allegations of the possibility of a conspiracy and sabotage in the crash. In its statement on Tuesday, the AAIB said that it is following all technical and procedural protocols and is fully committed to transparency, and requested that speculation about the crash and its investigation be avoided.
