Pune:NCP's Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar, son of late Ajit Pawar, on Tuesday travelled from Mumbai to Pune in an aircraft belonging to VSR Aviation, even as some members of his family have been targeting the company as its plane was involved in the Baramati air crash that killed his father.
Parth was, however, quick to clarify that it was a purely administrative lapse to book an aircraft belonging to VSR, and said booking agent's contract was being terminated with immediate effect.
A Learjet 45 aircraft, operated by VSR Ventures, crashed near the Baramati air strip in Pune district on January 28, killing Ajit Pawar and four others.
Parth, the elder son of Ajit Pawar and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar flew from the state capital to Pune to be a part of a family gathering at his grand uncle Sharad Pawar's residence.
Talking about flying in a VSR-operated aircraft, Parth said on X, "I had instructed my office to arrange an aircraft on an urgent basis as I needed to reach Modi Baug in Pune to meet Pawar Saheb. Due to last-minute arrangements, a VSR Aviation aircraft was inadvertently booked for me." "Until I reached the airport and boarded the aircraft, I had no knowledge that it belonged to VSR Aviation," he said.
