Welted Marigold : Dark and Mysterious Stories from South Asia and Beyond - True Crime
Brother’s Betrayal: Pramod Mahajan and the Murder That Shook Indian Politics| True Crime India
The most shocking political true crime story in modern India. Pramod Mahajan was the BJP's charismatic "Kingmaker" and a Union Cabinet Minister. His extraordinary life was ended not by a political rival, but by his own flesh and blood.
In this chilling episode of The Brand and Tonic Show, we go beyond the headlines to uncover the toxic saga of the Mahajan brothers. We detail Pramod Mahajan's meteoric rise in the BJP, his influence on the cellular revolution, and the high-flying life that fueled a decade of profound resentment in his younger brother, Pravin Mahajan.
Hear the full, spooky tale of sibling rivalry turned hatred:
• The crushing humiliation and financial dependency that led Pravin to view his brother as a "generous dictator."
• The events of April 22nd, 2006, the three fatal shots, and the calm confession that stunned the nation.
• The dramatic courtroom battle and the verdict in this heartbreaking political tragedy.
If you're fascinated by Indian true crime, political history, and the darkest side of family dynamics, this is a must-listen episode.
