Mumbai: BJP General Secretary Pramod Mahajan, who was shot at by his younger brother on April 22, died in Mumbai's Hinduja Hospital on Wednesday.
The end came at 1610 hrs IST, said an official of the Hinduja Hospital. Mahajan, 56, is survived by his wife Rekha, son Rahul and daughter Poonam.
"It is with deep regret we have to announce that Pramod Mahajan, who had been battling for life for the last 12 days, succumbed to his bullet injuries," said Dr Pramod Lele, CEO, Hinduja Hospital.
"He was suffering from Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome for the past four days, and that is what has caused his demise," said a senior doctor of the hospital.
Mahajan will be cremated at the Shivaji Park crematorium in central Mumbai on Thursday, said State BJP president Nitin Gadkari.
Mahajanâs body will be kept at the BJP state headquarters at Nariman Point from 2000 hrs IST till late night and will be then taken to his residence at Sir Pochkhanwala road in Worli.
During his 12 days at the hospital, Mahajan underwent three surgeries. He was constantly on ventilator and dialysis support. Doctors conducted a bronchoscopy on him on Tuesday to identify the cause of his respiratory problems.
He suffered multiple-organ failure on Wednesday and stopped responding to treatment. All his vital organs were on artificial support system since April 22.
Mahajan's younger brother Pravin Mahajan shot at him thrice in the BJP leader's 14th floor flat in an apartment block in Worli. When his revolver jammed, Pravin surrendered at the Worli police station. He has allegedly told the police Mahajan ill-treated and humiliated him.
The bullets severed the main vein in Mahajan's abdomen, shattered the right side of the liver, the top of his pancreas and damaged the small intestine, doctors at Hinduja Hospital said.
Doctors managed to stop his liver from bleeding, but then Mahajan's kidneys started malfunctioning and he had to be put on dialysis.
Mahajan's family flew in an Australian ortho-trauma specialist to Mumbai to support the medical services offered to the BJP leader. There was also a British expert attending on Mahajan from day two.
Condolence messages are pouring in for the departed leader from all political parties. The party flag has been lowered at the BJP headquarters in Delhi<!--c2--><!--ec2-->
