Mumbai: Pravin Mahajan, who is accused of murdering his elder brother, BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, will approach a court for permission to undergo psychiatric tests.
A magistrate of the remand court, where Pravin was produced after the murder, has thrice rejected his plea to appoint a panel of doctors for psychiatric tests.
"As the magistrate has not granted his plea for undergoing psychiatric examination, the only option before us is to move either the sessions court or the Bombay High Court," said his lawyer Nandkumar Rajurkar has said
"After getting instructions from my client, I shall move the appropriate court for such relief," he said.
Rajurkar had urged the magistrate to let Pravin undergo psychiatric tests, as he wanted to show that his client was not in a proper frame of mind when he shot Mahajan.
Pravin, who is in judicial custody till May 17, has told police that he shot Mahajan because he was neglecting and humiliating him.
