Union Minister of State for Social Justice Ramdas Athawale on Thursday said he did not believe there was a conspiracy behind the Baramati plane crash that claimed the life of then Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, but insisted that the Central Bureau of Investigation should probe the incident, news agency PTI reported.

“We demand that the inquiry into the plane crash should take place through the Central Bureau of Investigation. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has written to the Centre for the same, and I am also going to follow it up,” the Republican Party of India leader told PTI during a visit to Latur in Maharashtra.
