Nearly three weeks after the plane crash that killed former deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in Baramati, the investigation has become a political battleground, with NCP-SP MLA Rohit Pawar questioning the credibility of the probe and the government insisting on faith in Indian agencies.

While Sunetra Pawar has sought a CBI inquiry, Rohit Pawar has escalated demands for an independent or international probe, alleging irregularities linked to the aircraft, its ownership and the investigation process.
