This picture is of January 28 when Ajit Pawar died in a plane accident. The front part of the plane was completely burnt.
New guidelines have been issued for non-scheduled aircraft and helicopter operators carrying VIPs and VVIPs (like Chief Minister, Governor etc.). DGCA has clearly said that no pressure should be put on the flight crew, so that security is not compromised.
According to DGCA, last minute changes in the name of VIP needs should not be made directly by the crew, but only through the operators management. Weather related rules will have to be followed. The crew’s decision has to be respected.
In the new guidelines, care has been taken that pilots do not become victims of fatigue due to VIP movement. Now if a leader applies pressure, the pilot can simply refuse and the accountability will be on the ‘management’ and not on the individual pilot.
In fact, on January 28, 5 people including Ajit Pawar died in a plane crash at Baramati Airport. After which DGCA has changed the rules regarding VIP movements.

Question on delay in CBI investigation
What has come to light in the investigation so far…
Claim: Ajit’s plane hits trees before crash landing
The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) had released a 22-page primary report on the Baramati plane crash. Citing CCTV footage from a village near the crash site, AAIB said that before the accident, the plane turned to the right, hit trees and then the ground. Due to this it caught fire and the entire cockpit and cabin were burnt.
No irregularities were found in post-flight check
The AAIB report also states that the plane returned to Mumbai after completing a flight on January 27. After post-flight check, the technician did not find anything wrong with it.
In fact, on January 26, VSR Ventures’ aircraft VT-SSK had operated a charter flight for the Mumbai-Surat-Mumbai sector. It returned to Mumbai at 12.20 am on 27 January.
