Pravin Mahajan, who was convicted for killing his brother, BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, died in a hospital in Mumbai on Wednesday, March 3, 2010.
Pravin, who was serving a life sentence at the Nashik jail, was admitted to Jupiter Hospital in December 2009 after a suspected brain haemorrhage. -
On the morning of 22 April 2006, Pravin Mahajan shot his brother and BJP leader Pramod Mahajan with his licensed .32 Browning pistol inside the former's apartment in Mumbai.
After struggling for his life for 13 days, Mahajan suffered from a cardiac arrest and died on 3 May 2006. -
Pravin surrendered at the Worli Police Station in Mumbai after the shooting. The police claimed that it was a premeditated attack born out of resentment built up over a long time.
Pravin accused his brother of ignoring and humiliating him, and not giving him his due. -
In 2009, Pravin Mahajan penned down a book titled My Album -- around 175 pages -- that was published in Marathi and English.
The book dwelt upon several aspects of his elder brother's personal, professional and political life, his principles, his political associates, etc, many of them not exactly laudatory. -
Pravin Mahajan was cremated on Thursday. Only Prakash, the eldest of the Mahajan brothers, attended the cremation.
Other family members, including brother-in-law Gopinath Munde and his extended clan stayed away. Even his mother chose not to attend the cremation.(NDTV Photo)
