Mumbai: CM Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday said govt has requested a CBI inquiry into the plane crash that killed deputy CM Ajit Pawar last month. “We received a letter from the NCP seeking a CBI inquiry. We have written to the Union home ministry and the case will now be investigated by CBI, along with investigations by Directorate General of Civil Aviation and the state CID.” He said those raising doubts over the crash must write to the appropriate authority or they could write to govt, which will forward it to the authority. “All valid doubts must be answered and we shall pursue the matter till all answers are received.” Fadnavis said an audit of all flights of VSR, which owned the ill fated aircraft, had been initiated, adding that he had flown 4-5 times in the aircraft that crashed. He said owing to overheating, help had been sought from the manufacturer to retrieve data from the voice recorder. TNN
