MUMBAI: A Sessions Court here on Monday convicted Pravin Mahajan (48) of killing his elder brother and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pramod Mahajan. On Tuesday, the prosecution will present its arguments on the quantum of sentence.
Pravin was convicted under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 449 (house trespass).
The court said the prosecution had proved his guilt beyond reasonable doubt. While rejecting money as the motive for the crime, it accepted the threatening SMS (short messaging service) Pravin sent to Pramod a week before the incident. The message said: “Now there will be no pleading or prayers. It is war now and it will end in either victory or death.”
The court relied on the eye-witness accounts of Pramod’s wife Rekha Mahajan and domestic help Mahesh Wankhede. The case was also supported by Pramod’s dying declaration in the presence of his brother-in-law and BJP leader Gopinath Munde.
