Pramod Mahajan’s daughter breaks down in court

The message said “ab na hogi yachana, na hogi prarthana, ab ran hoga, jeeevan vijay ke saath ya phir maran hoga“( Now there will not be any plea nor any prayer. Now there will be a battle in which either victory or death will occur.”

The number from which the message was sent was that of Pravin, Poonam told the court.

All this was recorded in the panchnama but Poonam’s statement did not say that she had taken possession of her father’s personal belongings, defence lawyer Harshad Ponda told the court.

The mobile phone was in the custody of Poonam, who told a sessions court here today that she kept her father’s personal belongings after his death and had not disclosed the same to police as she was not questioned about it.

During her cross-examination in the court of Additional Sessions Judge S P Davare pertaining to the attack on Pramod, allegedly by his brother Pravin following which he died,

Poonam said she had taken her father’s watch, mobile phone and wallet after his death and kept it in her house.

Between April 12 and 13 this year, she received a phone call from her mother Rekha, asking if she had any idea as to where Pramod’s mobile phone was. Poonam searched for the same in her house and handed it to police on April 15.

Police then asked Poonam to check if there was any text message in the said phone sent by accused Pravin, which she found.
