How the end came

By Wednesday morning, the guessing game continued. Hundreds of BJP supporters had assembled at the hospital.

News channels flashed reports of L K Advani cancelling his Suraksha Yatra to come to Mumbai. BJP president Rajnath Singh was also on his way.

Finally, the first real sign of bad news came from New Delhi. The Bharatiya Janata Party flag, at its headquarters, was lowered at half-mast.

At 4.10 pm, it was official. Pramod Mahajan was no more.
