NCP leader Jayant Patil has raised concerns over the delayed release of black box data following the fatal crash of former Maharashtra CM Ajit Pawar, who has since met the CID to discuss the investigation.
Former Maharashtra chief minister Ajit Pawar died in a helicopter crash on 4 October 2023, when the aircraft crashed near the town of Nagpur. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the probe, with investigators focusing on the aircraft’s flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.
The black box data, crucial for determining the cause of the crash, has not yet been released to the public. Sources say the delay is due to technical difficulties in extracting the information from the damaged recorders.
NCP leader Jayant Patil expressed frustration over the delay, demanding a clear timeline for the release of the findings. He also met with CID officials to seek updates on the investigation.
No official statement has been issued by the CID yet, and the investigation is still ongoing. The delay in the black box release has drawn attention from political circles and the media alike.
