Ajit Pawar plane crash LIVEAll shops were shut and police presence was beefed up, as hundreds of vehicles made a beeline. A few kilometres away, at the crash site near the Baramati airstrip, police were deployed to control the crowd that thronged the site. Mr. Pawar’s plane had crashed just a few metres from the runway, near a field. At Vidya Pratishthan, Usha Namdev Gadadare sat quietly in a corner, holding back tears. A widow of a war hero, she said ‘Ajit Dada’ was more than family to her.
