Ajit Pawar’s nephew files complaint in Bengaluru against air crash; says Maharashtra police refused to file FIR

A Zero FIR has been registered at a police station in central Bengaluru based on a complaint by Maharashtra MLA Rohit Rajendra Pawar, alleging a criminal conspiracy behind the death of former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in a recent plane crash.

“The complainant had approached various police stations in Maharashtra, but they refused to register an FIR. Hence, a Zero FIR was registered in Bengaluru,” a senior police officer said.

The FIR was registered at the High Grounds Police Station on March 23 and later transferred to the Baramati Rural Police in Maharashtra for further investigation.

Any police station can register a Zero First Information Report when the said crime has not taken place under its jurisdiction, and transfer it to the police station concerned.
