On Monday, Rohit Pawar again brought up the January 28 plane crash in which Ajit Pawar died. He did this after Anjali Damania said some things about Ashok Kharat’s finances. Damania said that texts about money going in or out of the Samata Credit Cooperative Society suddenly went up around the time of the crash, and this has made people look at things more closely.
Timeline and central allegations
Damania told reporters that on January tthirteen, seventeen texts about deposits or withdrawals from Kharat’s account were sent, and on January 28th, nineteen were. More texts followed in the days after, and she thinks this is an unusual occurrence.
Pawar repeated Damania’s claims on X (formerly Twitter) and insisted on a thorough investigation. He pointed to both these allegations of financial activity and earlier reports about supposed black magic being performed near Ajit Pawar’s home, and said both of these things create very serious questions that need answers.
Financial trail and cooperative society details
The Samata Credit Cooperative Society is at the center of Damania’s statements. A large number of text alerts about transactions could mean lots of things, from typical money movements to carefully planned transfers designed to hide what is going on. A detailed examination by financial experts is the only way to tell what’s normal and what’s suspicious.
Investigators should get complete bank statements, the dates and times of transactions, who the money went to, and if there is any link between different accounts. Text alerts on their own aren’t enough to go on; phone company records, financial institution records, and information from the devices used can help prove if these texts represent actual money transfers or just happen to be notifications.
Kharat’s mobility and aircraft connections
Rohit Pawar also mentioned that Ashok Kharat flew often on planes owned by VSR, the company that operated the LearJet 45 that crashed in Baramati on January 28. Pawar wants to know if Kharat’s flights, the people he associates with, and the money flowing around him are tied to the accident.
Looking into this would mean getting passenger lists, who was on the plane, maintenance logs for the aircraft, and details of the communications about travel arrangements. To prove a real link between how someone travelled and their financial activity, you have to put together a lot of different, separate pieces of information.
Political reaction and call for CID probe
Rohit Pawar, who is the MLA for Karjat-Jamkhed, wants the CID – which is already looking into a possible plan behind the crash – to also include Ashok Kharat and his friends in their investigation. Pawar stressed how important a full and open investigation is to get the public to believe in the results.
This request has political and legal consequences. Because of the high profile of the crash, and the accusations about a prominent, self-described spiritual leader, the investigators and authorities will come under even more examination. Therefore, it’s essential they follow neutral procedures based on the evidence.
What investigators should examine next
A careful investigation should combine looking at financial records, phone data, flight information, and statements from people who saw what happened. Text message logs must be compared with bank transaction receipts and the identities of the account holders, and phone companies can confirm when and where the messages were sent.
Officials should also look at CCTV footage and travel receipts for Kharat and his followers, review VSR’s flight logs, and investigate the reports of rituals near Ajit Pawar’s home. Using independent financial experts and forensic teams can decrease the chance of the evidence being messed with or the investigation being influenced by politics.
If the investigation is careful and led by the evidence, it will help determine if the text alerts and transactions were just coincidence or part of a larger plan related to the crash. Considering the serious loss of life, a complete and transparent investigation is the only way to get answers people can believe in and regain public trust.
