Thane, Sept. 30 -- The brother of slain Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Pradeep Purnekar on Wednesday demanded justice and said the family would not perform his last rites until those responsible for his killing are arrested.

Speaking to ANI, Jainath Purnekar said he was informed about the shooting around five minutes after it occurred and rushed to the hospital, where doctors told the family that Pradeep had died.

"It happened at 9:32 pm. At that time we were roaming around for donation. After five minutes I got a message on phone. Someone said that there is a firing on Balu Dada. We came running. By the time we reached the hospital, the doctor told us that he is no more," Jainath said.
