Don't complain to cops, said Mahajan

New Delhi, April 28: Moments after he was shot last Saturday, BJP general secretary Pramod Mahajan told his wife to rush him to the Hinduja Hospital as "I don’t have much time" and not to complain to the police against "Chandu", his brother Pravin who pulled the trigger.

Sources said that Mahajan’s first instruction to his wife Rekha, when she rushed into the room on hearing the gunshots, was, "Call Gopinath" (Munde, his brother-in-law, who lives in the same building).

He then told her that he should be taken to the Hinduja Hospital since other big hospitals were not very close. "I don’t have much time," sources quoted him as having told his wife.

His final instruction, sources said, was that there should be no complaint to the police against "Chandu". On his way to hospital, he asked Munde, "What was my fault?

At the hospital, sources said, Mahajan even told doctors the names of the medicines he had been taking to keep his blood pressure and sugar level in check.

Mahajan continues to be in a critical condition though doctors said they had reduced medication for blood pressure levels.
