15 Sep
Summary
- Son allegedly killed his father with an axe after an argument.
- The dispute reportedly stemmed from the father's demands for the son to find employment.
- Both father and son had recently been released from jail on wildlife-related charges.
A tragic incident unfolded in Bhopal on Sunday night, where a 50-year-old man was allegedly killed by his son. The deceased, identified as Phoolsingh Nath, was reportedly attacked with an axe by his 30-year-old unemployed son, Dharmendra Nath.
The dispute is said to have arisen from Phoolsingh's repeated insistence that Dharmendra find employment. According to Phoolsingh's wife and Dharmendra's mother, Guddi Bai, the father had also forbidden her from serving Dharmendra food after the argument escalated.
Following dinner, Dharmendra allegedly attacked his father multiple times with an axe while Phoolsingh was lying down. Phoolsingh sustained severe wounds and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Police registered a murder case and have launched a search for Dharmendra.
Interestingly, both Phoolsingh, known locally as "Sher Ka Shikari," and Dharmendra had been released from jail approximately six months prior, having faced charges related to wildlife poaching.
