Mahajan murder case: sequence of events

Mumbai: BJP General Secretary Pramod Mahajan was shot by his younger brother Pravin at his Worli residence on April 22, 2006 following a heated dispute.

Here is the sequence of events that unfolded on that fateful day:

• Pravin left his home in Thane's Jhangi Apartment's at 5:30 am. Pramod had bought the house for him 10 years ago.
• He was carrying his nine mm Browning pistol with him.
• Pravin drove to Pramod Mahajan's Worli house- entering the 15th floor flat at 7:30 am.
• Pramod was reading the newspaper when his brother walked in.
• The two had a heated argument, overheard by the neighbours. His wife and children were with him.

- Pravin then shot Pramod at least three times at point blank range - hitting his liver, pancreas and intestines.

• Pramod was rushed to Hinduja hospital by a doctor who lived in the apartment complex.
• Pravin walked out of the house and surrendered at the Worli Police Station.

It's believed that Pravin then left only to surrender some time later at the Worli Police station where he was arrested under section 307.
