The family of Pinky Mali, a flight attendant who tragically died in the Baramati plane crash, has claimed that the owner of the charter company involved tried to intimidate them into avoiding media interactions. VSR owner V.K. Singh allegedly cautioned Pinky Mali’s brother, Karan Mali, against speaking publicly about the incident or engaging with the media. Pinky Mali was one of the passengers on the chartered plane that crashed in Baramati, which also claimed the life of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Karan Mali recounted receiving a call from VSR company owner V.K. Singh shortly after the crash. Singh reportedly questioned Karan about his father’s statements in the media, leading to a tense exchange. Karan Mali mentioned reaching out to Rohit Pawar, a leader from the Nationalist Congress Party, to inform him about the situation and seek support in light of the alleged pressure from the charter company.
The family’s concerns were further highlighted by Pinky Mali’s father, Shivkumar Mali, who disclosed that they were advised to refrain from media interactions regarding the crash. Shivkumar Mali expressed frustration over the perceived lack of assistance following the tragedy, indicating a sense of isolation and a need for support during this challenging time. The family’s narrative suggests a struggle to cope with the aftermath of the incident and the complexities surrounding their communication with the media and the charter company.
