# Rohit Pawar PA’s daughter found dead in Baramati, probe on 2026-08-23T13:12:37+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets A 12-year-old girl, the daughter of NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar's personal assistant Ajit Dashavatare, was found dead near her home in Baramati, Pune district, on Sunday morning. NDTV reports the victim as Avani Ajit Dashavatare, aged 14, while The Federal says she was 12. She had gone missing after leaving home on Saturday night following a minor argument with her mother, and her family had filed a missing person complaint. Police are investigating all angles, including suicide and murder. The body has been sent to Baramati Government Medical College and Hospital for postmortem. The exact cause of death is not yet established. Rohit Pawar visited the hospital and urged a thorough probe, stating there should be no negligence in the postmortem process and that any police lapse would have consequences. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The two sources agree on the core facts but differ slightly on the victim's age: NDTV says 14, The Federal says 12. Both report the police are examining suicide and murder, and quote Rohit Pawar demanding a thorough investigation. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, with neither outlet adopting a critical or favourable stance toward any party. The investigation and postmortem report are the next concrete developments to watch. Both sources attribute the missing person detail to the family, and the police statement to PTI. The measured read is that authorities have not yet determined the cause, and the postmortem will be key. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - ndtv.com (neutral report) Straight reporting with no slant, leads with victim identification and location. - thefederal.com (neutral report) Straight reporting with no slant, includes background on argument and family complaint.
