Overview
- Parth Pawar, who flew from Mumbai to Pune on Tuesday on a VSR‑operated charter, said he only realised the operator after boarding.
- He called the booking an administrative lapse, moved to terminate the broker that arranged it, and said his stance against VSR remains unchanged.
- Activist Anjali Damania posted on X with an alleged passenger manifest and questioned the choice of carrier, though the document has not been independently verified in reports.
- Last‑minute charter flights are often procured through brokers, which can hide the actual aircraft operator until check‑in, a gap this case brings into focus.
- The Baramati crash on January 28 killed Ajit Pawar and four others, and cousin Rohit Pawar pressed the CID for updates Tuesday, saying no senior officers were present when he visited.
