Brother killed elder brother for one crore?

As reported by media on April 10, 2007: Slain BJP leader Pramod Mahajan's wife, Rekha Mahajan has said in court that Mahajan's brother Pravin Mahajan killed him for money. Now Rakha’s statement established the motive behind the murder of her husband.

Rekha said that a few days before the shooting on April 22, 2006, Pravin had come to their residence and demanded a sum of Rs 1 core from his elder brother Pramod.

 

This threatening was in the knowledge of Gopinath Munde former deputy CM of Maharashra. Munde did not want to interfere in the matter related to the brothers.

Pramod tried to convince him that he did not have that much money due to which Pravin got angry and after threatening the BJP leader of dire consequences, left the house angrily, she said.

Pravin is accused of shooting Pramod multiple times with his licensed gun at the latter's Worli residence, resulting in his death.

 

Meanwhile, Pravin Mahajan's wife Sarangi Mahajan has rebutted Rekha Mahajan's statement. Sarangi Mahajan said, "Pramodji was like my father. He was a priceless gem. His life can never be worth just a mere crore. He was a priceless gem. His life can never be worth just a mere crore."

MP Govt accuses Slain Prof Sabbarwal’s son of blackmailing

In a sensational disclosure, the Madhya Pradesh government on Monday accused slain Ujjain professor H S Sabharwal's son Himangshu of trying to blackmail it for compensation for his father's murder during a college election on August 26 last year.

The letter written and signed by Himangshu on January 8, 2007 said, ``This is to remind you of my earlier applications to which I have no answer and action either, on the issues raised. They are: The appointment of a special prosecution in the trial of the murder case as I have no faith in the public prosecutor, his abilities and his intention; Creation of a bust/statue in the college premises; Declaration of an event in his memory and a compensation of Rs 25 lakh to his bereaved wife, my mother.'' The letter was issued by the state government on April 9.

"I have asked for a statue of my father in the college, a special prosecutor and compensation. Where is the question of a compromise? My father died on duty, the government should as rule pay compensation," Himangshu said.

"When we did not pay-up, he went to Congress and campaigned against BJP during the Vidisha Lok Sabha by-polls. He has been marketing Prof Sabharwal's demise to start a career in politics with Congress. He had even approached Congress for an election ticket," Cabinet Minister of MP Govt Vijayavargiya alleged.

Reacting to this, Himanshu said, "Who can stop me from joining a political party? I campaigned against BJP because Congress gave me a platform."

A month and a half after Professor Sabharwal‘s death, his son Himanshu Sabharwal's crusade for justice has taken a different turn after getting the backing of Congress and open support of former CM Digvijaya Singh and  Manak Agarwal, spokesperson of the MP Congress.

The Congress then has found a new face with loud mouth to launch a new anti-BJP and anti-Shivraj Singh Chouhan campaign.

“If Himanshu Sabharwal wants to serve the Congress party, the Congress party will utilise his services willingly. We will organize his public meetings in the constituency. He is an intelligent and capable young man, a fine orator and a man with a positive vision, and the party can only benefit from his presence,” said Manak Agarwal, spokesperson of the Madhya Pradesh Congress.

Barganing for votes on Gujarat Riot Victims Demises

The UPA government decided to give Rs 7 lakh as compensation to 5,000 so-called riot victims in Gujarat , the same amount given by the government to the 1984 anti-Sikh carnage victims. But there was no mention of relief for the Godhra victims. Perhaps it happened because those karsevaks burnt themselves as reported by Lalu and his Banerjee Commission! Perhaps secular government forgot to register the suicide case against those. It is open fact that decision to award compensation to the 2002 rioters has not only exposed the hypocrisy of the UPA government, but also made the Congress vote-bank politics amply clear. Giving similar relief to the victims of terrorist attacks on Akshardham temple and other places might be against secularism and the constitiontion. So Secular head Manmohan alopted more transperancy to legalize the bribery other wise who will him Oxford University returned scholar. Sonia has genuine love to India so she suggested genuine bribery to Muslim Victims.
