The Karnataka Police Department has shifted the ‘Zero FIR’ related to the plane crash involving late Ajit Pawar to the Maharashtra Police Department. The case file and relevant documents have been forwarded as part of this transfer. Additionally, Karnataka Police has urged Maharashtra Police to move the case to the Baramati Rural Police Station in Pune district.
Karnataka’s Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) for Crime and Technical Services, P. Harishekaran, has communicated this transfer request to the Maharashtra Director General of Police. The Zero FIR filed in Bengaluru alleged a larger criminal conspiracy behind the tragic January 28, 2026, plane crash near Baramati Airport in Maharashtra, claiming the lives of Ajit Pawar and four others.
The complaint, lodged by NCP(SP) MLA Rohit Rajendra Pawar at the High Grounds Police Station in Bengaluru, suggests that the crash was a deliberate plot to eliminate Ajit Pawar. It aims to identify and charge all individuals responsible for the incident as accused. The case file, registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), has been sent for jurisdictional transfer to the Baramati Rural Police Station in Pune district, Maharashtra.
