Mumbai: Pravin Mahajan, accused of killing his brother Pramod

Mahajan, on Wednesday said the BJP leader's death and his son Rahul's

arrest in a drug case were inter-related.

 

 

He claimed clues for both cases can be found in the Hinduja Hospital

in Mumbai and the Apollo Hospital in Delhi.

 

 

"They (the two incidents) are related, and the Delhi and the Mumbai

Police should coordinate with each other. The keys are in Hindujas

(where Pramod died). If Apollo (Hospital where Rahul's reports were

allegedly fudged) can do that...then Hindujas," he said.

 

 

"Rahul has been made a scapegoat. I had told his parents to be

careful with him. He's a very good boy; it's his birthday next month.

I'm willing to serve his sentence," Pravin said.

 

 

He also said that the Mahajan family was being held to ransom

by "tentwallahs", a reference to Pramod's aide Sudhanshu Mittal.

Former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee knew about this.

 

 

"The family is being held ransom by the tentwallahs and Atal Behariji

owes an explanation to the nation," he said.

 

 

"This has been happening for the past five-six years. He owes an

explanation to the nation. Why is he skirting it? It is not a family

tragedy but a national tragedy. It has happened in a ministerial

bungalow. The Prime Minister stays nearby. Did the former PM know

about it? If he did, what did he do? If he did not know, what was he

doing in six years of rule?" Pravin asked.

 

 

Pravin blamed Pramod for "spoiling" Rahul. "His father did not

inculcate good habits in him, he (Rahul) was made a sacrificial goat.

I had told his father and bhaabi (Rahul's mother) to make him fall in

line." he said.

 

 

Asked whether he regretted killing his brother, Pravin said, "I have

not done anything. When my trial begins, I will say it all and more

in the court. They are inter-related. There are many reasons, you

come to court."

 

 

Pravin, whose plea to undergo psychiatric tests was rejected by a

local court on Wednesday, has denied that the killed his brother in a

fit of rage.

 

 

Meanwhile, a local court extended Pravin's judicial custody till June

28. The magistrate noted that there were no grounds to show that

Pravin was mentally unstable.

 

 

The magistrate also rejected Pravin's plea seeking court's

supervision in the the investigation. Pravin had alleged that the

investigation was "one-sided".

 

 

The court observed that the probe was done properly and and there was

no reason to believe that the investigating agency used any "pressure

tactics".

 

 

The court also rejected Pravin's plea to meet his relatives for 15

minutes' outside the court.

 

 

This is the third time when the court has rejected Pravin's plea to

hold psychiatric tests.
