After Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was killed in a plane crash in Baramati, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday (January 28, 2026) demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the incident. She alleged that “all other agencies” have been “completely compromised”.
Stressing that the truth would not emerge through existing mechanisms, Ms. Banerjee said only a probe under the supervision of the Supreme Court would be credible. “We trust only the Supreme Court. All other agencies have been completely compromised,” she told reporters in Kolkata before leaving for Singur.
