Pramod today underwent a 8220;successful8221; surgical procedure for cleaning up of abdominal cavity and placing of drainage tubes even as Pravin8217;s police remand was extended for a week till May 3.

The Worli police told the Bhoiwada Metropolitan Court today that Pravin was giving evasive replies and misleading them. The police said Pravin discussed the brothers8217; relationship in detail while at the Agripada lock-up.

Pravin, however, allegedly avoided discussing the motive for the shooting, standing by his earlier statements that the armed assault was prompted by the continued humiliation he suffered at his brother8217;s hands.

Asked about his pistol and arms licence, Pravin allegedly told interrogators he had got it for his own security. However, he denied carrying it every day8212;something his lawyer had initially claimed, while insisting that the shooting was not premeditated.

Asked about legal aid, he also allegedly said that he did not intend to pay for a defence lawyer. 8216;8216;I don8217;t need special help. I can plead my case in front of the court. And even if I need a lawyer, I will not pay him a paisa because my case will make him famous,8217;8217; he allegedly said. 8216;8216;Did anybody know advocate Rajurkar Pravin8217;s current lawyer before this incident?8217;8217;
