  "account": "A trainer aircraft belonging to Carver Aviation crashed near the Baramati airstrip in Maharashtra's Pune district on Sunday, according to police reports. The incident occurred around 12:30 PM during a training exercise involving a pilot and a cadet. No casualties were reported. The aircraft, identified as VT-SEX, was unable to stop completely while taxiing on the runway and continued about 20 feet beyond the designated area into a grassy region. The aircraft was attempting a rejected take-off when it struck the runway's edge and veered off to the right side, according to a senior police official. The incident is reminiscent of a fatal crash near the same airstrip on January 28, where a Learjet 45 operated by VSR crashed during an emergency landing, resulting in the deaths of Maharashtra's deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar and four others.",
