Son Strangles Father Over Property Dispute in Indore

Summary
- A 70-year-old man was allegedly murdered by his son.
- The son received a court notice seeking his eviction.
- The murder occurred after a dispute over family property.
A 70-year-old man was allegedly strangled to death by his son in Indore's Sadar Bazaar area on Wednesday night. This tragic event unfolded just a day after the victim had issued his son a court notice to vacate their shared home, a dispute apparently rooted in family property.
The deceased, Bilawal Khan, resided with his unemployed son, Hidayat-Ullah Khan, who occupied one room of their two-room house. Their relationship was strained, marked by frequent arguments concerning Hidayat's unemployment and other issues, which had recently escalated over the family's assets.
Following Bilawal Khan's death under suspicious circumstances, preliminary postmortem reports indicated asphyxia as the cause, pointing towards strangulation. Based on statements from the victim's daughters, who cited a troubled relationship between the father and son, police have registered a murder case against Hidayat-Ullah Khan. The accused has since been detained and reportedly confessed to strangling his father with a scarf.
