Tragedy has struck the Kulti neighbourhood of Asansol, West Bengal, where a younger son, Vishal Sinha, is accused of brutally beating his mother, Sushila Sinha, to death. Sushila, who operated a small grocery shop to make ends meet, lived with Vishal, whose escalating drug addiction and constant demands for money had reportedly caused frequent quarrels.

Authorities responded promptly, securing the scene and sending Sushila's body for a postmortem examination. Vishal Sinha has been detained for questioning, and a thorough investigation is currently underway to ascertain the full details of this devastating crime.
