Mumbai, Jan 29: Officials investigating the plane crash that claimed the life of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and five others have successfully recovered the voice recorder and flight data recorder from the crash site. The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) confirmed the recovery of the critical equipment.

Earlier today, officials from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and forensic teams arrived at the site to begin their detailed probe into the tragic incident. The Pune Rural Police have also registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) at the Baramati Taluka Police Station and have initiated further investigations into the cause of the crash.

Meanwhile, funeral preparations are underway at the Vidya Pratishthan Ground in Baramati for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader. Ajit Pawar's mortal remains were taken to the ground where thousands of supporters gathered to pay their respects.

The funeral procession for Maharashtra’s longest-serving Deputy CM (non-consecutively) is set to begin at 9 AM from the Vidya Pratishthan campus (Gadima). The procession will pass through the city, allowing people to offer their tributes to Pawar, before concluding at the Vidya Pratishthan Ground, where the funeral ceremony will take place at 11 AM.
