Pune, NCP MLA Rohit Pawar on Monday raised fresh doubts about the January 28 plane crash that killed Ajit Pawar after activist Anjali Damania alleged a link between arrested self-styled godman Ashok Kharat and financial transactions at a cooperative credit society.
Addressing a press conference in Mumbai earlier in the day, Damania claimed SMS alerts linked to transactions in Samata Credit Cooperative Society showed an unusual spike around the time of an alleged accident involving Ajit Pawar, a reference to the then deputy CM's death in a plane crash on January 28.
She alleged 17 messages were received on January 27, followed by 19 the next day , and several more in the following days, which she claimed was not the usual pattern. According to Damania, the messages indicated deposits or withdrawals in Kharat's account.
In a post on X. Rohit Pawar said, "Serious questions are being raised after it came to light that substantial financial transactions were carried out by Ashok Kharat during the same period. Earlier, there were also reports of alleged black magic rituals outside Ajit Dada's residence."
The Karjat-Jamkhed MLA also pointed to reports of Kharat's frequent travel using VSR company's aircraft and his network of followers, asking whether there could be a connection between these developments and the fatal crash. VSR owned and operated the LearJet 45 aircraft that crashed in Baramati on January 28.
