MUMBAI: Pravin Mahajan was sentenced to life imprisonment on Tuesday for killing his brother and BJP leader Pramod Mahajan.
The younger brother of the prominent BJP leader Pramod Mahajan was convicted for murder and house trespass with intention to commit a serious offence.
Special prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had sought the maximum punishment of death by hanging on Tuesday for the accused.
While convicting Pravin, Sessions Judge SP Davare had relied on the statements of Pramod's wife Rekha, servant Mahesh and his own statement to his brother-in-law and BJP leader Gopinath Munde while on way to the hospital after being shot at on April 22, last year.
Pravin had fired three bullets at his elder brother at the latter's residence. Mahajan died after battling for his life for 12 days in a hospital here.
Davare said the prosecution's case had inspired "every confidence."
