May 03, 2006 21:15 IST

 

A murder charge was on Wednesday slapped against Pravin Mahajan after his elder

brother and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pramod Mahajan succumbed to

bullet wounds inflicted by him 12 days ago.

"We have altered the charges against Pravin from attempt to murder (307 of

Indian Penal Code) to murder (302 of IPC). Naturally, when the victim in an

attack dies, the charges against the accused are bound to change," Mumbai Police

Commissioner A N Roy told reporters in Mumbai. Praveen, who had fired three

bullets at Pramod at the BJP leader's Worli residence on April 22, surrendered

before the police soon after the incident.

He also confessed to the attack and surrendered the gun used in the crime.

Police sources said the amended charges will be placed before the court on May

17 when Pravin will be produced for extension of remand.

The murder charge against Pravin, if proved, could attract a punishment

ranging from life imprisonment to death sentence.

Wednesday - May 03, 2006 Televisionpoint.com Correspondent

Former Information & Broadcasting Minister Pramod Mahajan has died today, he was

shot at by his younger brother Pravin Mahajan at his residence in Worli on April

22. Mahajan, who took three bullets, was battling his life from the past 12 days

A pall of gloom descended on the 11, Ashok Road headquarters of BJP here today

as the news about party General Secretary Pramod Mahajan's death broke. The

saffron and green flag of the party bearing the lotus symbol was lowered as all

party leaders made a beeline to the party office in the heart of the capital, a

PTI report says.

 

Tears welled up in the eyes of party leaders, workers and even mediapersons as

floral tributes were paid to the late leader who succumbed to bullet injuries at

a Mumbai hospital.

 

Led by the party's deputy leader in the Lok Sabha, Vijay Kumar Malhotra,

prominent leaders who paid homage to Mahajan included Delhi BJP chief Harsh

Vardhan, party leaders O P Kohli, Kedarnath Sahni, Kishan Singh Sangwan, Sumitra

Mahajan, former NCM chairman Tarlochan Singh, former Delhi Speaker Charti Lal

Goel, J P Mathur and Pawan Sharma, it adds.

 

 

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is

that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that

most frightens us. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won't feel insecure around you...As we let our own light shine, we

unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated

from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." from A Return

To Love: by Marianne Williamson
