Supporters lining the route raised slogans of “Ajit Dada Amar Rahe” as the cortege reached the ground. Pawar’s son Jay, nephew Rohit Pawar and other relatives accompanied the procession

Pawar, 66, was killed on Wednesday morning when a chartered Learjet aircraft crashed near the Baramati airstrip, about 100 km from Pune. Four others on board — two pilots, a flight attendant and Pawar’s personal security officer — also lost their lives in the accident
