(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)NEW DELHI, April 22_(Kyodo) _ Pramod Mahajan, a leader of India's main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, was shot Saturday morning in Mumbai, the country's commercial capital, according to media reports reaching New Delhi.


Mahajan, general secretary of the BJP, was shot three times by his cousin Pravin Mahajan in Worli in central Mumbai, the reports said.

Seriously injured, Mahajan was taken to the Hinduja hospital and is undergoing an operation, but there is little information available on his condition, the reports said.
