Sarangi, wife of Pravin Mahajan, on Thursday told the sessions court that the SMS sent to Pramod Mahajan by her husband prior to attack on the BJP leader last April had been tampered with. Sarangi was deposing as a defence witness in the Pramod Mahajan murder trial. Pravin, late BJP leader’s younger brother, is accused of shooting the latter.
The prosecution had told the court that Pravin had sent threatening SMS to Pramod. However, during her deposition Sarangi denied the contention of the prosecution and said it was she who had sent an SMS at the behest of Pravin, as he had asked for an appointment with Pramod.
In another development, the prosecution applied for getting Pramod’s mobile handset examined by forensic laboratory at Hyderabad. Hearing of the case has been adjourned till November 28.
