VSR Ventures operated the Learjet 45 aircraft which crashed on January 28, 2026 with Ajit Pawar and four others on board at Baramati in Pune district.
Sharing the clip on a social media platform, Jay Pawar on Sunday (March 1, 2026) stated, "We lost our father...this pain will stay with us for a lifetime. In this video, Rohit Singh, owner of VSR, is seen asleep in the chief pilot's seat during the flight. Such negligence while the aircraft is in the air is unacceptable. This is extremely serious and shocking." He demanded that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) take immediate and strict action in the matter.
