Nearly three months after being hospitalised with brain haemorrhage, Pravin Mahajan, convicted for murdering his brother and senior BPJ leader Pramod Mahajan, today died in neighbouring Thane.

The end for Pravin (50), who had been on life support system since December 11 last year, came at 1740 hours due to multiple organ failure, extensive haemorrhage and sepsis (infection).

"In the past 48 hours, Pravin's condition was continously deteriorating and his blood pressure was falling and was using more and more life support measures," Dr Ravindra Ghawat of Jupiter Hospital told reporters.

"We are seeking advise from the police and jail authorities as to whether the body should be handed over to the family or the police after issuance of death certificate," Ghawat said.
