Pune: NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar on Friday claimed the owner of VSR Ventures, which operated the fateful aircraft carrying former deputy CM Ajit Pawar, was reportedly trying to edit the jet’s black box data.“It is heard that V K Singh, owner of VSR company and an expert in tampering data, is reportedly trying to edit the FDR (flight data recorder) data,” he said on X. He said any tampering with the FDR data of the Learjet-45 can be detected during a forensic audit. “Once a [probe] committee is formed, a forensic audit will be conducted. So, no one should dare to tamper with the data,” he warned. Some officers may have been compromised, but many DGCA officials remain upright and honest, he said.FDR, aka the black box, records an aircraft’s various parameters and operational data, which can be used in accident investigations.
