Mumbai, March 2: Jay Pawar, son of former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, has shared a troubling video on Instagram. In the post, he expressed, “I have lost my father… this pain will stay with me forever.”
The video reportedly shows Rohit Singh, the owner of VSR Ventures, sleeping in the pilot’s seat during a flight. Such negligence while airborne is unacceptable and poses serious risks.
Jay Pawar has called on the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to take immediate and strict action regarding this incident. He urged that all VSR flights be grounded until a thorough investigation is conducted and demanded the immediate arrest of Rohit Singh, along with stringent legal measures. This is a heartfelt plea from a son… for his father and the safety of all passengers.
Previously, the DGCA grounded four aircraft from VSR Ventures Private Limited. This decision followed a special safety audit after a Learjet 45 crash in Baramati, Maharashtra, on January 28, which resulted in the death of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
The DGCA’s statement noted, “Following the crash of the Learjet 45 aircraft (VT-SSK) on January 28, 2026, the DGCA ordered a special safety audit of the organization. The multi-disciplinary audit team found multiple violations of approved procedures in the areas of airworthiness, air safety, and flight operations.”
Due to these violations and deficiencies in maintenance procedures, the DGCA decided to ground the Learjet 40/45 aircraft registered as VT-VRA, VT-VRS, VT-VRV, and VT-TRI until airworthiness standards are restored.
Furthermore, the DGCA has issued non-compliance reporting forms to VSR Ventures Private Limited to facilitate root cause analysis for further assessment.
