A sad day for all who somewhere praised Mahajan for his leadership qualities and the fact that he was a good manager and was politically savvy. Mahajan was seen as a “technocrat” leader, sans a firm grassroots political base.

It was really appalling how his younger brother killed him right in his own house. That this kind of hatred that can come forth from ones kith and kin is something to ponder. Was this person named Pravin Mahajan out of his mind when he shot his own brother and lead him to his fateful death…how much hatred and disgust led him to commit such a heinous crime…the intensity of which is even more magnified by the fact that the victim was his own brother. And the irony is that the pistol which was used by Pravin Mahajan was provided to him only after Promod’s request to the concerned authorities. Little did he knew that his brother would use the same weapon to eventually murder him.
