Mumbai News LIVE Updates: "Was the pilot a suicide bomber?": NCP MLC Amol Mitkari on Ajit Pawar`s Baramati plane crash
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLC Amol Mitkari on Monday drew a comparison to Ajit Pawar`s Baramati plane crash with Rajiv Gandhi`s assassination by the LTTE. Addressing the press conference, Mitkari alleged that the pilot might have been a suicide bomber targeting the late Deputy Chief Minister. "I have been saying this from the first day, that the way the pilots of the VSR company were issued an insurance in December, of 50-50 crores, we have received such information. Even after that, the VSR company has not given any clarification on this. If this had happened, then would that pilot have been sent as a suicide bomber? And I have given this example in Agola, that the way a female terrorist was going to Rajiv Gandhi`s assembly, the way she was attacked, and she died a painful death, that type of a suicide bomber, this pilot named Sumit Kapoor, wasn`t he the one? An inquiry should be conducted to recover the data from the black box," said Mitkari.
